The IVD Regulation IVDR holds many innovations for medical device manufacturers. Our free template "The Technical Documentation under the IVDR" supports you in adapting your product file.Due to their specificity, IVDs are regulated separately: in the In vitro Diagnostic Device Regulation, IVDR (EU) 2017/74, valid from May 26, 2022; and until now via Directive IVDD 98/79/EC.With the Technical Documentation, you as a manufacturer prove the conformity of your IVD with the underlying regulations of the individual countries. Since the IVDR brings with it many innovations, it is essential for you as an IVD manufacturer to quickly take care of the adaptation of your technical documentation.We are now making the IVDR innovations available to you free of charge as a PDF download. Use our whitepaper "Technical Documentation under the IVDR" as a template and checklist for your IVDR adaptation!
Classification of IVDs
Under the IVD Directive, products are classified according to Annex II as List A or B products, or as products for self-testing and others. New with the introduction of the IVDR regulation is a classification based on seven classification rules into classes A, B, C or D. Depending on the classification of the IVD, different requirements for the conformity assessment procedure and the involvement of the notified body must be observed. More about Classification of IVDs

IVDR: What are the new requirements?
UDI, EUDAMED, software, classification, involvement of Notified Bodies for a large part of the devices... These are some buzzwords from the current discussion and, with a view to the entry into force of the IVDR, the biggest challenges you will face as a manufacturer. In addition, these topics are interdependent, i.e. the results of risk management influence software development, UDI requirements influence the labeling processes, and the requirements for post-market surveillance must be mapped in the QMS. Have you already developed a suitable strategy for this?A concrete calculation example: If you need 200 working hours each for the revision of 50 product files, that's a total of 10,000 hours of working time. Who in your team can do that?We are happy to support you and look forward to contributing to your team's success!.
