Webinar: IVDR and its impact on clinical diagnostics, 6 May 11:00 AM (CEST)

Event Date: 6 May 2021

Genetic diagnostic tests that are compliant with IVDD or IVDR are currently available only for a very small number of indications. Most of the genetic tests performed today are based on so-called Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT). These LTDs have been developed by the laboratories themselves and rely on „For research use only” (RUO) products for some important steps of the analysis. These RUO products include e. g. sequencing instruments, consumables, bioinformatics pipelines or interpretation software. The IVDR significantly increases the regulatory requirements for these LDTs and therefore has a high impact on the business and operation of diagnostic laboratories across Europe. In this webinar, we will discuss what this means for your daily routine and how you need to deal with this challenge.

New in the IVDR – Performance evaluation! What it means and how to deal with it, Björn Nowack, SensID GmbH

The IVDR requires manufacturers of CE-IVD products or Lab Developed Tests (LDT) to have a continuous process of product monitoring. Manufacturers, which in the case of an LDT is the laboratory itself, are obliged to permanently monitor their products, collect data, and evaluate their performance. According to the IVDR, aspects of the performance evaluation must be checked repeatedly, if there have been changes or findings that influence the quality of the IVD. How can manufacturers of LDTs or CE-IVDs deal with this? How can performance evaluations be done in accordance with the IVDR?
