ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Theranostics Health (TH) today announced that it has received a CLIA Certificate of Registration from the Federal Government. This, along with its Medical Laboratory Permit from the State of Maryland Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, allows the Company to perform clinical diagnostic laboratory testing in the disciplines/specialties of Immunology/protein microarray and Pathology/histopathology.

The Federal Government's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), under the umbrella of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is responsible for management of the CLIA program. According to HHS, a facility is considered a laboratory under CLIA if it performs even one test on, "materials derived from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of the health of, human beings." TH is now compliant with and certified by CLIA Quality Systems laboratory regulations.

Under the Code of Maryland Regulations, a state license is necessary to perform clinical laboratory tests in Maryland. Licensure involves requisite permit applications and fees as well as compliance with quality assurance, quality control, proficiency testing and personnel requirements.
