The technical file for In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) medical devices refers to all the documents that an IVD manufacturer must prepare and submit to demonstrate that the product conforms to the applicable and current In-Vitro Diagnostic medical device regulations. This documentation serves as evidence that the device meets essential safety and performance requirements under the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR).
The IVDR technical documentation for such devices includes, for instance, a detailed description of the device and its specifications, references to previous and similar generations of the device, design and development information, pre-clinical testing data, performance evaluation results, and risk management processes associated with the medical device. Each of these components is critical for assessing the overall compliance of the device with the regulatory framework.
The IVD technical file must also be meticulously organized. The information included should be clear, readily searchable, and presented in a logical, unambiguous manner. This ensures that regulatory authorities and notified bodies can easily evaluate the device’s safety and performance. The tech file medical device submission should comprehensively demonstrate the device’s ability to perform as intended, without posing any risks to patients or users.
Manufacturers can benefit from using an IVD technical file template to streamline the preparation process, ensuring that all necessary details are included and structured correctly. Additionally, an IVDR technical documentation template can help maintain consistency and compliance with regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of errors or omissions.
Proper preparation and maintenance of the IVDR technical documentation are vital for successful market access and the long-term compliance of In-Vitro Diagnostic medical devices.
Want to prepare an IVDR Technical Documentation as per the requirements of MDR 2017/746? If your answer is yes, you likely have many questions about preparing medical device technical files, such as:
At Maven Profcon Services LLP, we provide all the answers to these questions and guide you through the preparation process.
The In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device (IVDR) Technical Documentation must comply with the requirements of Annex II and Annex III of IVDR 2017/746. This documentation serves as evidence that the medical device meets the applicable safety and performance requirements under the regulation.
The completed tech file medical device should be submitted to the notified body or competent authority for review and approval as part of the CE certification process. It must be prepared in the English language or an official language of an EU member state.
Manufacturers, authorized representatives, and importers of in vitro diagnostic devices must retain the IVDR Technical File, declarations of conformity, and copies of all relevant certificates for a period of 10 years after the last device is placed on the market.
Economic operators of in vitro diagnostic devices are also required to maintain supply chain records during the 10-year retention period, as stipulated in Article (10)(7) of MDR 2017/746.
The EU IVDR explicitly requires manufacturers (or their authorized representatives) to retain several key documents for 10 years after the last device is placed on the market, including:
Moreover, Annex XIV-Chap II.3 requires sponsors of clinical trials for IVD medical devices to maintain records such as application forms, investigators’ brochures, performance study plans, and other similar documents for at least 10 years after the conclusion of the clinical performance study. If the device is marketed, the retention period extends to 10 years after the last device is placed on the market.
If you are searching for an IVD Technical File or need a comprehensive IVDR Technical Documentation Template, our team can assist you in developing a compliant tech file medical device to meet EU MDR 2017/746 standards.
