Understanding IVD Device Classification and Regulatory Requirements

The classification of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices in Europe is delineated into four categories: 

  • General IVD (Self-Certified) 
  • Self-Testing IVD 
  • List B IVD (Annex II) 
  • List A IVD (Annex II) 

With the implementation of the IVDR, a refined risk-based classification system comprising Classes A, B, C, and D has been introduced. Notably, a majority of self-testing IVDs will now fall within Class C, while several IVDs previously considered self-certified will be reclassified as higher-risk devices.
