Description: MEDICAL DEVICES: In Vitro Diagnostic (EU DIR 98/79/EC) Collection contains more than 30 documents.
This Directive was recently introduced in the EU as the third in a series of Medical Device Directives. The purpose of the Directive is to ensure that only safe and effective products are sold in the European market, with clearly outlined regulations regarding manufacturing, import and marketing. On December 7, 2003, compliance to the IVD Directive became mandatory. This Directive defines an in vitro diagnostic medical device as 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 (a) concerning a physiological or pathological state, or (b) concerning a congenital abnormality, or (c) to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or (d) to monitor therapeutic measures. Examples include HIV test kits; blood gas analyzers; multi-analyte control sera; immunoassay analyzers ; blood collection tubes and specimen containers; microtitre plate readers, claimed for diagnostic use; and media for growing cultures, used for diagnostic purposes.
