The 6-Step Checklist For IVDR Compliance
By Hilde Viroux and Hans Mische, PA Consulting
The in vitro diagnostic devices industry has until May 25, 2022 to bring products, documentation, and quality management systems into compliance with the new EU Regulation on In Vitro Diagnostic Devices 746/2017 (IVDR). This regulation is a major revision, focusing on patient safety, requiring more clinical evidence, improving traceability in the supply chain, and enforcing a proactive post-market surveillance system to ensure early detection of problems.
The past year presented a challenge in implementing the IVDR while the COVID-19 pandemic forced the industry to focus efforts on bringing COVID-19 tests to the market. The May 2022 deadline is quickly approaching and there is no sign that the EU Commission is considering postponing it. Even if the deadline is pushed back, the expectation is that it would only be for a year, similar to the extension granted for the medical devices regulation. F

Nature’s role is difficult to quantify, say researchers
Should disposal of human waste be allowed into nature or modern engineering solutions of waste water treatment plant? A global multi-city study claims ‘Nature’ can (and does) take the role of sanitation infrastructure and strengthening natural sanitation ecosystem services may be more cost effective than equivalent investments in engineered sanitation infrastructure.
“While we are not marginalizing the vital role of engineered infrastructures, we believe a better understanding of how the engineered and natural infrastructures interact is a promising topic for further research and may allow adaptive design and management, reducing costs, and improving effectiveness and sustainability,” said researchers after studying disposal systems in 48 cities across the globe.
