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.
