Introduction

Diagnostic tests provide objective information about a person’s health. This information can be used for many purposes. Some tests are used for risk assessment purposes—to determine the likelihood that a medical condition is, or will become, present. Other tests are used to monitor the course of a disease or to assess a patient’s response to treatments, or even to guide the selection of further tests and treatments.

Diagnostic tests involve the instruments, equipment, and/or other items used to analyze specimens (which range from hand-held devices to desk-top analyzers to items of capital equipment used in large clinical laboratories), as well as the reagents used in performing diagnostic tests. Reagents are essential to tests because these are the substances that cause a reaction with the sample (e.g., chemicals that mark cancer cells so that they can be distinguished from healthy cells under a microscope).
