🧬FDA Classifies Mutation Detection Test for Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is classifying the mutation detection test for myeloproliferative neoplasms into class II (special controls).

We are taking this action because we have determined that classifying the device into class II will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. We believe this action will also enhance patients' access to beneficial innovative devices, in part by reducing regulatory burdens.
