    We are working on a medical device with QBD code; a specimen collection device /transport medium  (ITM),  Can any one shed light on the following ? 
    • Should the medium/device be tested for all the suitable sample types for ex; oropharyngeal/ anterior nasal swabs ?
    • What kind of Validations are required to claim the device to be used as a part of the self-administered kit.
    • For multiplex devices ex; influenzas/Covid , should such devices be tested for both these targets or would one of them be sufficient
