98/79/EC (EU IVDD) is replaced by
746/2017 (EU IVDR)
True or False:
Article 1(2) (b) of the IVDD defines an IVD as:
in vitro diagnostic medical device’ means any medical device which is a reagent,
reagent product, calibrator, control material, kit, instrument, apparatus, equipment, or
system, whether used alone or in combination, intended by the manufacturer to be
used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue donations,
derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing
information:
— concerning a physiological or pathological state, or
— concerning a congenital abnormality, or
— to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients,
or
— to monitor therapeutic measures.”
TRUE
4 types of IVDs as defined by IVDD
1 - Higher risk IVDs to diagnose the indications in Annex II List A
2 - Lower risk IVDs to diagnose the indications in Annex II List B
3- Self-tests
4- all other IVDs diagnosing indications not in either of the Annex II Lists
Examples of IVDs used to provide information concerning a physiological state
menopause assay, ovulation assay, pregnancy test
Examples of IVDs used to provide information concerning a pathological state
HIV Assay, COVID 19 Assay
Examples of IVDs used to provide information concerning a congenital abnormality
Evaluation of the risk of trisomy 21
Examples of IVDs used to to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients
Determination of blood groups of the ABO system
Examples of IVDs used to monitor therapeutic measures
Digitoxin Assay (Digitoxin is a naturally occurring cardiac glycoside that is used to treat congestive heart failureand atrial fibrillation)
True or False
The IVD is used in vitro for the examination of a specimen derived from the human body and where such specimen is never reintroduced into the body.
True
True or False
The IVD may provide information either alone or in combination with other devices or products
True
True or False
A pulse oxymeter emitting light through the fingertip and absorbing infrared light, to measure the oxy/deoxyhemoglobin ratio is an IVD
False
Specimen receptacles’ are those devices, whether vacuum-type or not, specifically
intended by their manufacturers for ____________________________________________________.
Specimen receptacles’ are those devices, whether vacuum-type or not, specifically
intended by their manufacturers for
the primary containment and preservation of specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of in vitro diagnostic
examination.
What is
“ an article which, whilst not being invitro diagnostic medical device, is intended specifically by its manufacturer to be used with a device to enable that device to be used together with a device to enable that device to be used in accordance with its intended purpose”
Accessory
Are needles, lancets swabs, mouth tubes IVD accessories?
No, because they are invasive sampling devices directly applied to the human body
True or False
IVDs for performance testing can carry CE mark.
False.
Cannot carry CE mark because their performance characteristics have not been established yet. However, they still should meet all directive requirements.
