Scientific Validity Reports: a mandatory requirement for In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR)

In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) play a critical role in diagnosis, proper treatment decisions, and monitoring patient outcomes. The European Union’s new In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) introduces significant changes for IVD manufacturers, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory approval requirements to market a product in Europe.
