Key Messages The new Regulations will be transformational for the Industry and for your Business ► ►
EU Market
►
► Regulatory Landscape
► ►
Economic Operators
► ► ► ►
medtechforum.eu
Cost to operate will increase Early access to technology innovation likely to be impacted due to expected protracted market authorization timelines In the transition period EU ‘first to launch’ markets may not be as attractive Regulation imposes clear and detailed rules which do not give room for divergent transposition by Member States. Introduction of ‘expert panel led’ scrutiny process will be a significant change Impacts for the Notified Bodies are substantial, likely to see further consolidation
Regulatory led, broad business impact Substantial costs to remediate are anticipated Complex change program whilst maintaining ‘business as usual’ Strategic imperative for all businesses which will demand leadership attention

Back-Ups
Key IVDR changes (1/2) With some notable similarities between the MDR and IVDR changes in product identification, surveillance and manufacturing release
Clarification and extension in the scope of the regulation :
►
► ►
►
Devices manufactured and used within a single health institution; Tests providing information about the predisposition to a medical condition or a disease and tests providing information to predict treatment response or reactions (e.g. companion diagnostics); Software, which is explicitly mentioned in the definition of IVD’s
The Regulation will apply from the point a product is made available rather than the point it is placed on the market
►
Proposed Key IVDD Changes – Classification •
It will employ classification ( A (lowest risk),B,C,D) and conformity routes based on the IMDRF but adapted for the EU regulations
•
Further requirements for in-house assays, Class D devices will be fully under the scope of the IVD Regulation, Classes in A, B and C used within a single healthcare institution are exempt from the regulation provided they are made and used in an accredited laboratory
•
Specific definition and requirements for Companion Diagnostics they are defined as a device intended to select patients with a previously diagnosed condition or predisposition for eligibility of treatment with a specific medicinal product and will become class C devices
•
Specific definition and requirements for devices for near patient testing these include devices intended to perform testing outside a laboratory environment by a healthcare professional not necessarily a laboratory professional, generally near to, or at the side of, the patient and will be regulated in a similar way to self test devices

Key IVDR changes (1/2) With some notable similarities between the MDR and IVDR changes in product identification, surveillance and manufacturing release. Proposed key IVDD Changes – Key Product Changes •
New labelling requirements including UDI requirements
Who R&D, Global Supply Chain
•
Economic Operators will be required to identify who supplied them and to whom they supplied IVD’s
•
There are increased requirements for post-market surveillance (PMS) including a PMS plan a post-market clinical follow-up plan and post-market clinical follow-up evaluation report proportionate to the risk class
•
Class C and D will also have to report any statistically significant increase in the frequency or severity of incidents that are not individually serious incidents, but have an impact on risk-benefit analysis
•
Commission proposes to set up and manage an electronic system to collate and process reports by Manufacturers on serious incidents, field safety notices and corrective actions and periodic summary reports (PSR’s)
•
Increased clinical evidence will be required to demonstrate conformity with the general safely and performance requirements. The Clinical Evidence Report (CER) will have to contain a summary of the scientifically validated data, the analytical performance data and clinical performance data
Clinical, Regulatory
•
Each manufacturer and authorised representative will require a Qualified Person with 5 years IVD regulatory experience to be responsible for the conformity of batches to be released, maintenance for the technical documentation and declaration of conformity plus vigilance reporting
Tech OPS Regulatory Med. Safety
Med Safety, Regulatory, Market OPCo’s
Proposed key IVDD Changes – Key Authorisation Changes
Who
•
The Notified Body will have to inform the MDCG of all new Class D applications and submit a summary of safety and performance, the MDCG can request additional information within 15 days and additional information within 90 days, this does not apply to changes to existing products
QA
•
The regulation will establish the requirements for a network of reference labs which will support the establishment of the state of the art, creation of CTSs and pre-certification independent testing to the CTS, support the verification of manufactured product for Class D and other testing requirements needed by the Competent Authority or Notified Body

Post-Market clinical follow-up plan (PMCF) and report for each CER to assess long term safety and performance
Clinical
►
►
All class III and implants require clinical investigations, use of equivalence may be reduced
►
►
Equivalence data will need to include usability in addition to intended use, technical and biological data
►
Technical file impacts vary from administrative to the more complex including general safety and performance requirements, validation testing, labelling and DoC translations
D : ~ List A devices C & B : majority of IVD’s ► Class A : self –assessment ( excl = near patient testing, measuring, sterile) Analytical performance and clinical performance will be required to demonstrate conformity with the general and safety performance requirements ► Class
►
Technical Files
Significant changes to the classification system for IVDs and to the conformity assessment procedure ► Class
More emphasis on comparative device evaluation may be a requirement in the clinical evaluation

IVDR
►
Class D,C & B product Manufacturers audit by the NB will incorporate a QMS assessment
►
New Classification System will require the following NB interventions
A different NB landscape may require consolidation to established NB’s and recertification, re-designated starting 6 months after publication
New conformity assessment procedure includes the requirement for more frequent unannounced inspections and includes supply chain and traceability
►
Technical documentation (class III dossiers/technical files) availability for products requiring NB review for certification
►
Global markets (AUS, CAN, Saudi, Korea) where CE is used will need consideration
►
►
Class D : pre-approval of the design, QMS and batch verification
►
Class C : Representative technical documentation review and QMS
►
Class B : QMS assessment

Commercial impacts The potential market impact due to portfolio changes may be significant both due to product losses and competitor changes MDR
Portfolio Management
Product Life Cycle
Product Changes
IVDR
►
Launch strategy – EU as the initial launch markets may need to be reviewed for the transition period.
►
The more stringent clinical evidence requirements to support new registrations may extend authorization timelines
►
Acceleration of model changes and developments could be more viable than product withdrawal or remediation
►
Margin impacts due to the costs to remediate products may be substantial in the case of those products implicated by the hazardous substance and clinical evidence changes
►
