FDA Webinar: Overview of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Product Classification
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is hosting a webinar to review how in vitro diagnostic products (IVDs) are classified by the FDA.IVDs are those reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. Such products are intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body. The FDA classifies medical devices, including IVDs, into Class I, II, or III according to the level of regulatory control that is necessary to reasonably assure safety and effectiveness. The classification of an IVD (or other medical device) determines the appropriate premarket process.
