In vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing has become a cornerstone of modern medicine, with an estimated 70% of medical decisions made based on laboratory test results. Given the vital role IVDs play in guiding care, regulatory agencies frequently review approval requirements and the regulatory frameworks governing these devices are constantly evolving.
The issuance of new regulations, guidance documents, and regulatory proposals make it critically important for IVD developers to proactively navigate uncertainty so they are adequately prepared to mitigate the potential financial, compliance, and operational risks that may surface in a dynamic regulatory environment.
This webinar covers changes that have been proposed or implemented in US and EU IVD regulations and provides strategies for developers to adapt to the ever-changing landscape.
Topics include:
- FDA proposed rule to regulate laboratory developed tests (LDTs) as IVDs
- FDA reclassification for high risk IVDs
- Key changes introduced by the EU In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR)
- Current progress on the transition to EU IVDR compliance
