About

The IVD Classification and Performance Evaluation under the IVDR course provides a practical understanding of IVD classification, performance evaluation, and regulatory requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/746.
It covers Article 47 and Annex VIII on classification, Article 56 and Annex XIII on performance evaluation, scientific validity, analytical performance, clinical performance, performance studies, and post-market performance follow-up (PMPF). Learners also explore technical documentation, risk management, conformity assessment, and notified body expectations through practical scenarios.
Upon completion, learners receive a certificate demonstrating their understanding of IVD classification and performance evaluation requirements.

What you will learn

Understand IVD classification rules, intended purpose, and regulatory requirements under the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR).

Learn the three pillars of performance evaluation: scientific validity, analytical performance, and clinical performance, including evidence assessment and benefit-risk analysis.

Understand performance evaluation planning, performance studies, post-market surveillance (PMS), post-market performance follow-up (PMPF), and technical documentation requirements.

Develop knowledge of performance evaluation reports, conformity assessment, notified body expectations, and ongoing demonstration of IVD safety and performance under the EU IVDR.

Course Syllabus

  1. The input, and who writes it
  2. Drafting the intended purpose as a discipline
  3. The architecture, stated once and correctly
  4. The component-level problem
  5. Where classification sits, and where a disagreement goes
  6. What must be written down, and what nobody prescribes

  1. Two rules, not one
  2. Panels, and where unexpected class D comes from
  3. The class D population, and it is smaller than expected
  4. A rule read in its corrected form
  5. The class C engine, worked by archetype
  6. Three monitoring formulations, and two classes
  7. The residual end, the switch, and the exercise

  1. Companion diagnostics, on the reasoning the guidance uses
  2. IVD software: qualification first, then Annex VIII
  3. Self-testing: a closed list, and the rules above Rule 4
  4. Near-patient testing, and the second proposition in miniature
  5. The low end, and the boundary of the Regulation itself
  6. The reclassification case, worked end to end
  7. The open boundaries, and the machinery that does not close them

  1. The routes, by annex address
  2. The two steps that no class letter predicts
  3. Sampling, its two corrections, and the method behind them
  4. The two technical documentation annexes
  5. The class D pathway, end to end
  6. The reference laboratory position is two-speed
  7. The certificate, the figures, and what the figures do not say

  1. The pillars, by definition and by address
  2. Ordered and conditional, not three parallel workstreams
  3. The plan, at its own address and grouped by purpose
  4. The clinical performance carve-out, taken honestly
  5. The study decision, and where this course stops
  6. Where the analogy breaks, and what is not published

  1. The report, and the word the annex actually uses
  2. The update duty, settled against the article
  3. Post-market performance follow-up, by purpose
  4. Where this course stops, and what the other one owns
  5. The transition, and the hardest trap in the subject
  6. Three jurisdictions, and three separate answers
  7. The re-check list, the exercise, and the close

  1. The argument, and what has changed since the introduction
  2. The class is not the consequence, proved and not asserted
  3. Guidance moved a device, and the gates are conditions
  4. Drafted records - constructed
  5. A check to run over a classification rationale on file
  6. Course completion
