Where diagnostics launches stall

A certified test still has to be paid for and ordered.

Under the IVDR most tests now need a notified body, and payment for a test is decided country by country.

  • IVDR class and performance evidence

    The risk class sets the route; performance evaluation must stay current after launch.

    Chapter 6
  • Notified body and transition dates

    Which bodies can assess an IVD, how the agreement works, and the dates that bind.

    Chapter 8
  • Payment for a test, country by country

    Who applies for reimbursement of a test, who decides, and who pays.

    Chapter 13
  • Joint clinical assessment

    Which IVDs the EU HTA Regulation selects, and the 100-day dossier that follows.
