In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR)

PentaBase is on track to comply with IVDR 

In May 2017, a significant transformation emerged with the publication of the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), replacing the EU Commission’s former Directive (IVDD) on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (98/79/EC). Understanding the nuances between IVDD vs IVDR is crucial in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape within the EU.

The arrival of the IVDR signifies more than just regulatory change; it embodies a dynamic commitment to precision, safety, and innovation, shaping the future of in vitro diagnostics. As a company operating in this space, it’s imperative to stay informed on IVDR regulations to ensure compliance and maintain market access.

Devices that obtained the CE mark under Directive 98/79/EC retain validity during a transitional period following the IVDR’s implementation, extending until 26 May 2025. However, for devices not previously subjected to a Notified Body under the IVDD, such as General Devices, adherence to the IVDR necessitates a phased transition based on risk classification.
