Team NB published a new position paper on Combinatorial Use of Reagent Devices clarifying expectations for demonstrating safety and performance of reagents used with other equipment.

  • Reagents are categorized as “closed systems” (defined combinations) or “open systems” (compatible with general lab equipment).
  • For “closed systems,” a full performance evaluation is required for at least one combination; other combinations require demonstrated equivalence. For “open systems,” manufacturers must define and justify critical equipment specifications in the IFU.
  • Manufacturers bear full responsibility for the safety and performance of the entire combinatorial workflow.
