IVDR compliance for in-house developed tests

The new In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) has been applied in phases starting on 26 May 2022. The IVDR and the national law of each EU Member State also concerns in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) developed in-house by clinical laboratories. Such in-house developed tests include IVDs manufactured by the laboratory as well as CE marked IVDs that are modified by the laboratory.

About IVDR compliance

When a laboratory develops IVDs in-house (also called Laboratory Developed Tests, LDT's), they must maintain Technical Documentation and update their Quality Management System to comply with the IVDR and the national law, including the requirements for manufacturing. If an equivalent CE marked device is available on the market or the scale of manufacturing of the IVD is industrial, the laboratory cannot use this option provided in the IVDR (Article 5.5), but must CE mark the IVD.

Our strong experience in IVD test kits, instruments and medical device software ensures that we can support you in getting your Quality Management System and Technical Documentation compliant with IVDR. Our expertise also covers single-use IVDs, companion diagnostics (CDx), and genetic tests.
