CLIA Statements - Waived Afinion
™
Tests
Afinion HbA1c is waived under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 (CLIA`88). A CLIA Certificate of Waiver is needed to perform testing in a
waived setting.
If the laboratory does not have a Certificate of Waiver, the Application for Certification (Form CMS-116), can be obtained at
https://www.cms.gov/cmsforms/downloads/cms116.pdf.
The form should be mailed to the address of the local State Agency of the State in which the laboratory resides
(https://www.cms.gov/CLIA/12_State_Agency_&_Regional_Office_CLIA_Contacts.asp).
If the laboratory modifies the Afinion Test or Afinion 2 Analyzer system instructions, the test no longer meets the requirements for waived categorization. A modified
test is considered to be highly complex and is subject to all applicable CLIA requirements.
