Q

Research-only IVDs are

A
  • intended for research purposes and not subject to IVDD
  • lack clinical application and hence not medical devices
  • cannot carry CE Mark
  • must carry label “ Research Use Only”
17
Q

Are inhouse (home brew)developed IVDs subject to IVDD?

A

No

18
Q

What are the requirements for inhouse IVDs to be exempt from IVDD?

A
  • Must be manufactured and used within the same legal entity and in the same geopgraphical location
  • the test can be run only on specimens from patients from the same health institution
19
Q

Will inhouse IVDs be subject to IVDR?

A

Yes

The health institution should justify in its documentation that the target patient’s group’s specific needs cannot be met at the appropriate level by an equivalent device available in the market
