Reach EU IVDR — Regulation (EU) 2017/746 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

The EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) replaced the IVDD, applying since 26 May 2022. Risk-based classification (Class A / B / C / D) drives notified-body involvement for the vast majority of IVDs (vs ~10% under IVDD). Sets requirements on clinical evidence (scientific validity, analytical + clinical performance), performance evaluation reports, EUDAMED registration, UDI, and Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance. Transitional provisions extended in 2024 (IVDR Amendment 2024/1860) for legacy IVDD devices. Quick Policy maps EU IVDR — Regulation (EU) 2017/746 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
