Comparisonofthekey differencesbetween the MDR and IVDR in the EU In the fast-paced world of medical devices, staying updated onregulatorychangesiscrucialformanufacturers, healthcare professionals, and patients alike. In the European Union(EU),twosignificantregulationshavebeenintroduced to enhance the safety and effectiveness of medical devices – the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) and the Medical DeviceRegulation(MDR).
InVitroDiagnosticRegulation (IVDR)andits KeyPoints The In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), Regulation (EU) 2017/746, was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council in 2017 and came into effect on 25 May 2017. It replaced the previous In Vitro Diagnostic Directive (IVDD) 98/79/EC and introduced a more stringent framework for the approval and marketing of in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs). This regulation specifically pertains to in vitro diagnostic medical devices distributed within the European Union.

MedicalDeviceRegulation(MDR)anditsKey Points The Medical Device Regulation (MDR), Regulation (EU) 2017/745, was also adopted in 2017 and came into force on May 26, 2021. It replaces the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC and aims to strengthen the regulatory framework for medical devices, ensuring a higher level of safety and efficacy.

Conclusion Navigating the regulatory landscape of medical devices in the European Union demands a thorough understanding of both the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). While these regulations share commonalities, such as risk-based classification and conformity assessment, differences in scope, implementation dates, and the level of notified body involvement necessitate careful consideration from manufacturers.
