The COVID-19 pandemic has ushered in the introduction of new laboratory diagnostic tests (PCR detection kits, antibody tests, antigen tests). In accordance with the DOH Department Order 2020-0820 “Institutionalizing and Strengthening the National Reference Laboratories in the Philippines,” the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine has been mandated to perform evaluations of In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices (IVDMDs) in collaboration with the FDA to ensure their quality and good performance in the local setting.
In fulfillment of this mandate and to ensure access to novel quality diagnostic assays for COVID-19, RITM has standardized its evaluation protocols and endeavored to streamline the product evaluation pathway into 4 stages as described below.
Evaluation Guidelines
Guidelines on the Evaluation of In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices and other related Laboratory Diagnostic supplies for Covid-19 (Updated as of 14 March 2023)
