Overview
In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Registration - Overview
The In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) sector is a rapidly expanding global market with a profound impact on healthcare. It employs laboratory equipment to detect diseases and infections, offering vital diagnostic information to both doctors and patients. In 2022, its global value stood at $117.8 billion, and it is estimated to reach $138.4 billion by 2027. This growth is propelled by factors like the surge in chronic diseases, heightened demand for diagnostic tests, an aging population, and advancements in technology.
Global Regulatory Scenario for IVD Registration
The worldwide Regulatory landscape for IVD registration is intricate and differs between the nations. IVDs are usually categorized by risk, with higher-risk IVDs subject to stringent regulations. Manufacturers of IVDs should meticulously examine the specific Regulatory demands of each target market. Furthermore, IVD manufacturers facing the complexities of global regulations should consider the following:
- IVD Regulatory processes are intricate and time-intensive, emphasizing the importance of early planning.
- IVD regulations vary by country. Manufacturers must diligently assess each market’s prerequisites for product introduction.
- Engaging qualified Regulatory consultants aids in grasping market-specific requirements and preparing essential documentation.
- The dynamic IVD Regulatory environment necessitates the ongoing awareness of changes to guarantee product compliance.
Registering IVDs in the international markets necessitates a tailored approach, involving close collaboration with the relevant Health Agencies for approval. The typical process for IVD registration involves the following steps:
- Assessing whether a specific device meets the criteria for classification as an IVD.
- Categorizing devices based on the associated risks.
- Identifying the relevant standards and data prerequisites specified by the respective Health Agency.
- Generating the necessary data as mandated by the Agency.
- Compiling a technical file in accordance with the specific requirements of each country.
- Submitting the application and addressing any queries or concerns until approval is obtained.
