Introduction to the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR): Online Training Course with Practical Workshops (July 16-17, 2025) Led by Stuart Angell (Director, IVDeology Ltd.)
Dublin, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Introduction to the In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) Training Course" has been added to offering. The In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (EU) 2017/746, which came into force in May 2017 with a transition period of five years, is intended to strengthen the current approval system for in-vitro diagnostics and makes substantial changes to the existing IVD Directive (98/79/EC) legislation. The regulation introduces a new risk-rule classification system based on the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) rules which, for the first time, takes patient impact into consideration. This will have a significant impact on all manufacturers of IVDs as about 80 per cent of all devices will now require some form of conformity assessment by a Notified Body. This seminar will clarify the requirements applicable to in-vitro diagnostic devices under the new regulation, highlight the major changes to responsibility and product data expectations and provide a thorough understanding of the impact on the industry. Practical workshops over the two days will help consolidate the information provided. Certifications CPD: 12 hours for your records Certificate of completion Who Should Attend?

Press Release Biocartis NV: Biocartis Announces IVDR Class C CDx Certification of the Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test
PRESS RELEASE 02/06/2025, 10:00 CEST Biocartis Announces IVDR Class C CDx Certification of the Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test Mechelen, Belgium, 02 June 2025 – Biocartis NV ('Biocartis'), an innovative molecular diagnostics company, is pleased to announce that its Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test has received the European Union (EU) Technical Documentation Assessment and Quality Management System certificate under the European In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR), making it the first Idylla™ Test to be certified as a Class C Companion Diagnostic (CDx) IVD Medical Device under the IVDR framework. The IVDR-certified Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test is designed to serve as a CDx for the detection of EGFR exon 19 deletions and the L858R mutation, which are key biomarkers that guide targeted therapies for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The IVDR certification confirms the Test's compliance with Europe's rigorous new regulatory standards, ensuring enhanced patient safety, improved information transparency, and robust data traceability. Designed for use on the Idylla™ Platform, the Test qualitatively detects 44 mutations across exons 18, 19, 20, and 21 of the EGFR gene – all within a single cartridge. Among these, exon 19 deletions and L858R mutations are validated as CDx targets, and the remaining mutations have been analytically validated. Utilizing formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, the Test is fully automated from sample to result, delivering fast results in under 3 hours – streamlining laboratory workflows and empowering oncologists with timely treatment decisions for their patients. With 99.2% sensitivity (PPA) and 99.0% specificity (NPA) for the CDx targets, the Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test ensures accurate detection of key EGFR mutations, providing healthcare professionals with actionable results to guide treatment decisions in NSCLC. For more information about the Test, please visit the Biocartis website or contact the Biocartis team. While the IVDR-certified Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test is now available to customers across Europe, with availability in other non-US markets expected to follow progressively – Biocartis is also developing the Idylla™ EGFR CDx Test in the US with AstraZeneca. Upon approval, the Test will be intended to help identify patients with NSCLC who may respond to treatment with Tagrisso® (Osimertinib), AstraZeneca's third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. Roger Moody, Chief Executive Officer of Biocartis, commented: 'Achieving IVDR certification for our Idylla™ EGFR Mutation Test is a key milestone for Biocartis and reinforces our commitment to quality and regulatory excellence. This is the first Idylla™ Test to be certified under the new IVDR framework, and we are currently pursuing certification of additional Tests in our portfolio. The IVDR establishes more rigorous standards to improve patient safety and diagnostic accuracy, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this evolution in European diagnostics.' ----- END ----- More information: info@ Biocartis NV.

DNV recognized as a Notified Body for Certification under In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR)
OSLO, Norway, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DNV, the independent assurance and risk management provider, has been recognized by the European Commission as a notified body for the certification of devices under the European Union's In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). The designation increases capacity for certifying in vitro diagnostic devices and providing access to the EU market. DNV offers device manufacturers a fully digital process for faster, more transparent device certification. In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests used to determine a person's health status. They range from pregnancy and cholesterol tests through to HIV screening, COVID-19 tests and cancer marker detection. The safety and effectiveness of such devices is therefore crucial to public and personal health. The EU introduced the IVDR in 2017, replacing its previous In Vitro Diagnostic Directive 98/79/EC (IVDD). The IVDR provides a regulatory basis for establishing the safety and effectiveness of new IVD devices. A certificate of compliance with the IVDR will be required for most IVD device to be sold in the EU. Devices are classified according to their risk to public and personal health. Class D devices, with the highest risk, will require IVDR certification from May 2025. Class C and Class B will require IVDR certification from May 2026 and May 2027 respectively. The designation of DNV as an IVDR notified body brings greater capacity to the certification market, helping more device manufacturers access the EU market. To further streamline access to market, DNV has a fully digital certification process. Manufacturers will be able to manage certification documents online and track compliance status in real time via a secure digital platform, for faster certification with greater transparency. "DNV is looking forward to working with manufacturers of all classes of IVD devices to help them access the EU market," said Cecilie Gudesen Torp, Global Director Medical Services, Supply Chain & Product Assurance at DNV. "Being in the top 5 notified bodies for medical device certification, we offer extensive expertise and technical competence. Our global team of auditors, technical assessors and clinicians are ideally positioned to deliver efficient certification with uncompromising reliability to reduce risks and help manufacturers get to market faster."
