Overview

An understanding of the requirements of the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR – (EU) 2017/746) is essential to maintain market access for your devices. The IVDR brings with it significant changes to the regulatory requirements for IVD manufacturers and introduces a new rule-based classification system with stricter notified body oversight, as well as substantial changes to the depth of the associated documentation.

Key takeaways and learning objectives

• Performance evaluation and for the risk classes C and D the summary of safety and performance (SSP)

• The requirements for State-of-the-art and Post-market performance follow-up (PMPF)

• Post-market surveillance (PMS), including periodic safety update reports (PSUR) for Class C and D devices

• Continual risk acceptability as part of the risk management plan
