IVDR Technical Documentation

our approach aimed at maximizing productivity & efficiency.

IVDR Technical Documentation

Under the new EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR 2017/746), every IVD device placed on the EU market must have complete Technical Documentation (TD). This is required because:

  1. Demonstrates Compliance: It proves that the device meets General Safety and Performance Requirements (GSPR) outlined in IVDR Annex I.

  2. Notified Body Review and Approval: Without TD, the manufacturer cannot obtain or maintain CE Certification.

  3. Ensures Transparency & Traceability: Authorities, Notified Bodies, and Competent Authorities can review it during conformity assessments, audits, or inspections.

  4. Patient Safety & Performance: IVDR Technical Documentation includes risk management, performance evaluation, and analytical data to confirm that the device is safe and performs as intended.

  5. Regulatory Obligation: Article 10(4) of IVDR makes technical documentation mandatory for all manufacturers (whether self-certified or via a Notified Body).

Role of Consultants in IVDR Technical Documentation

Preparing IVDR Technical Documentation is complex, especially with stricter requirements compared to IVDD. Consultants help by:

  • Gap Assessment

    Reviewing existing files (IVDD-era files) and identifying missing elements needed for IVDR compliance.

  • Structuring the Documentation

    Organizing files per IVDR Annex II & III requirements (Device description, design & manufacturing, GSPR checklist, performance evaluation, PMS/PMCF plans, risk management, etc.).

  • Performance Evaluation

    Supporting in literature search, clinical data appraisal, and preparation of Performance Evaluation Report (PER).

  • Liaising with Notified Bodies

    Preparing documentation in the exact format expected, handling questions, and responding to review comments.

  • Reducing Regulatory Risk

    Ensuring that the documentation is audit-ready, avoiding costly delays or rejections

  • Training & Process Setup

    Helping manufacturers build internal capability for Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) and Periodic Safety Update Reports (PSUR) under IVDR.

Overall IVDR CE Marking Process

  1. Classify device (A, B, C, D).

  2. Implement ISO 13485 QMS.

  3. Prepare Technical Documentation & Performance Evaluation.

  4. Undergo Notified Body review + onsite audit.

  5. Obtain CE Certificate → Affix CE Mark → Maintain compliance via PMS.

Can RegHelps handle PMCF for devices already on the market?2025-08-08T11:02:42+05:30

Absolutely. We can take over PMCF activities for devices already CE-marked and on the EU market, ensuring that your data collection, evaluation, and reporting fully meet MDR requirements — even if your existing documentation needs corrective action before the next Notified Body audit.

Product liability insurance under your service explain2025-08-05T11:06:35+05:30

As part of our commitment to regulatory compliance and risk management, we recommend that all non EU manufacturers have valid Product Liability Insurance when appointing us as their European Authorized Representative (EC REP). While it is not a legal requirement under MDR/IVDR for the EC REP to request proof of insurance, many Competent Authorities and Notified Bodies may inquire about the manufacturer’s liability coverage during inspections or audits. Having proper insurance also demonstrates due diligence and protects your business in the event of product-related claims in the European market. We do not provide insurance ourselves, but we can guide you on what to include based on your device risk class and market exposure.

What happens if my device was previously CE marked under MDD?2025-08-03T08:58:14+05:30

All MDD-certified devices must transition to MDR compliance by the applicable deadline. Significant changes to the product or intended use may require a full MDR re-certification.
