Today only 10-20% of IVDs are subject to Notified Body scrutiny and CE Marking certification in order to be legally marketed in Europe. Starting in 2022, that will jump to 80-90%. Does your Technical Documentation stand up to the strict new regulatory paradigm? Do you have a transition plan underway? Oriel STAT A MATRIX can help.
How We Help
Conducting an IVDD-to-IVD Regulation gap assessment
You can’t create an IVDD to IVDR transition plan unless you understand where you are now. Frankly, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to begin. Here’s what we can do to get you started on the right path:
-
Classify your IVDs under Annex VIII of the IVDR
-
Conduct a review of your existing technical data and detail the gaps
-
Review your existing claims and intended uses
-
Examine your postmarket surveillance and risk procedures
-
Recommend updates to your Economic Operator agreements
-
Identify all specific gaps in your compliance with the IVDR and provide guidance on how to fix them
Crafting an EU IVDR transition plan for your product portfolio
With a thorough gap analysis completed, we can help craft your transition plan. If you have List A, List B, or self-test devices currently subject to Notified Body intervention and CE certification, we will examine all expiration dates for those certificates and make recommendations on whether we think you should strategically go for IVDR certification now or renew your existing IVDD certification before the expiration. After conducting your gap assessment, our team will provide a detailed roadmap for transitioning to the updated regulation. As well, we can help you close the identified gaps one at a time, focusing on the areas that pose the greatest risk and impact on compliance.
Getting your IVD Technical Documentation in shape
Many IVD manufacturers may not be able to produce the clinical data required by the IVDR, specifically the Performance Evaluation Report (PER). The PER includes data related to scientific validity as well as analytical and clinical performance, and the requirements are different from those mandated in the US. We will examine all of your existing data (including postmarket data) and make specific recommendations on gaps that need to be closed. We can be as involved in that process as you like, supplementing your internal efforts or taking a lead role on specific compliance projects. If you want us to participate in discussions with reference labs and testing houses, we can assist with that as well.
