Manage episode 373851205 series 3456927
In the seventh episode of the NAMSA RAQA Café Podcast, our hosts sit down with Warren Jameson (NAMSA Senior Manager of Regulatory and Quality) and examine the European Union (EU) In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). IVDR 2017/746 was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 5 May 2017, and entered into force on 26 May 2017, gradually replacing the EU’s former Directive on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC).
“In regards to the IVDR you have three things that you have to formalize, you have scientific validity, clinical performance and analytical performance. ” – Warren Jameson
Discussion topics include:
- What is IVDR?
- What is the major change compared to the EU’s In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD)?
- What is the true impact on small, mid-size and large businesses?
- Has there been a shift in the time it takes for getting IVDs to market in the EU?
