Expert EU IVDR Consulting for In Vitro Diagnostic Devices
The EU In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746 introduced significant changes to the regulatory framework governing in vitro diagnostic medical devices in Europe. The regulation replaced the previous In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD 98/79/EC) and established more stringent requirements for manufacturers regarding safety, performance, documentation, and post-market obligations.
The IVDR applies to reagents, instruments, software, systems, and other products intended for the examination of specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes. Unlike many medical devices, IVDs are generally not intended to have a therapeutic effect or direct contact with patients.
Cert3Global offers practical and structured IVDR consulting services that help manufacturers understand these requirements, prepare the necessary documentation, and develop an effective regulatory strategy for European market access.
What is a UK Responsible Person for Cosmetics?
The EU IVDR Regulation (EU) 2017/746 is the European regulatory framework governing the placing of in vitro diagnostic medical devices on the European market. It was adopted in April 2017 and became applicable from May 2022, replacing the previous IVDD framework.
The regulation was introduced to strengthen oversight of IVD manufacturers and improve the safety, performance, and traceability of diagnostic products throughout their lifecycle.
Under the IVDR framework, manufacturers must demonstrate compliance through robust technical documentation, performance evaluation, quality management systems, and post-market surveillance activities. The regulation also introduces enhanced responsibilities for economic operators and significantly increases the role of Notified Bodies in conformity assessment.
Why is the EU IVDR Regulation Important?
Key Benefits:
- Enables legal placement of IVD devices in the European market
- Demonstrates compliance with European safety and performance requirements
- Improves product traceability through UDI and registration requirements
- Enhances confidence among regulators and customers
- Supports long-term market access and regulatory sustainability
Key Changes Introduced by the EU IVDR

Under the previous IVDD framework, only a limited number of devices required Notified Body involvement. Under IVDR, it is estimated that more than 80% of IVDs require review and assessment by a Notified Body.
Risk-Based Classification
- Class A
- Class B
- Class C
- Class D
Expanded Scope
- Companion diagnostics
- Genetic tests
- Software used for diagnostic purposes
- Single-use IVD devices
- New categories of diagnostic technologies
Stronger Clinical and Performance Requirements
Manufacturers must generate and maintain more comprehensive evidence demonstrating the safety and performance of their devices through performance evaluation activities and supporting documentation.
Increased Focus on Traceability and Post-Market Activities
- Unique Device Identification (UDI)
- Vigilance activities
- Post-market surveillance
- Registration obligations
- Ongoing compliance monitoring
