IVDR & In-House IVDs: What IVDR Article 5(5) Means for Your Lab

The EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) is transforming how clinical laboratories develop, validate, and justify their in-house tests. With Article 5(5) now in effect, in-house IVDs are officially within the scope of regulatory requirements.
Join this informative webinar to find out what this shift means for clinical laboratories that have long depended on their own in-house developed methods.

📅 Topics will include:
✅ The scope and impact of IVDR and Article 5(5)
✅ The current status of IVDR implementation in 2025
✅ What Article 5(5) means in practice for clinical laboratories

Whether your lab is already working under Article 5(5), evaluating tests, or preparing for transition, this webinar will provide valuable insights to help you stay compliant.

🔍 IVDR Reality Check: Are We Moving Fast Enough?
As of February 2025, around 1,500 IVDR certificates have been issued. But if an estimated 18,700 devices still need certification before the 2029 deadline, then the math just doesn’t add up.

📊 At the current pace, we might reach only ~7,500 certificates by 2029 — far short of what’s needed to keep all products on the market. To close the gap, the industry must scale up efforts 3–4X. That’s a serious challenge.

⏱️ Survey data shows:
• QMS certificates: 55% of notified bodies issue them in 6–12 months.
• QMS + Product certificates: 64% take 13–18 months, and 9% take up to 2 years.

Interestingly, 61% of the total certification time is spent with manufacturers, not notified bodies. That means the bottleneck is often internal — in documentation, technical files, and readiness.

As Ullastiina Hakala, Quality & Regulatory Affairs Expert at Aurevia, explains: “Navigating IVD regulations doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Our experts help manufacturers cut through the complexity — offering clear and actionable guidance to set you up for long-term success.”

⏳ There’s still time. But many IVD manufacturers may be thinking the same thing — and waiting could mean missing the window.

We can help you stay ahead of the curve by supporting you with:
• Classification
• QMS compliance
• Performance evaluation
• Post-market surveillance
• Gap analysis & auditing
• Technical documentation
• Training

🚧Is your QMS helping or hindering your organization?
Sometimes the most burdensome Quality Management Systems (QMS) are the ones that organizations have built up themselves. But why does this happen?

💡 Could it be a lack of understanding, trust, or collaboration? Or perhaps a disconnect between those who write the SOPs and those who live them?

Don’t miss our latest article by Ferenc Dahnér, Senior Quality & Regulatory Consultant at Aurevia, where he explores how a leadership mindset, employee involvement, and collaborative approach can transform a QMS from a bureaucratic burden into a strategic asset.

Planning to enter the U.S. medtech market?
The rules are changing—and you need to be ready.

📢 On February 2, 2026, the FDA’s new Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) takes effect, replacing QSR 820. While the ISO 13485:2016 forms the backbone of the QMSR, additional FDA-specific requirements still apply.

Join our half-day online course to get a clear, practical overview of what this means for non-U.S. manufacturers seeking market access.

🧠 What you’ll learn:
• Overview of the QMSR
• Key differences between the QMSR and ISO 13485
• FDA-specific requirements that still apply
• Registration and post-market requirements

👥 Who should attend?
Professionals involved in medical device manufacturing, development, or improvement such as design engineers, quality engineers, quality/regulatory managers, etc.

🎯 After the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of the FDA’s QMSR, it’s relationship to ISO 13485, and a road map of the key areas to focus on for successful entry into the US market.

📅 Date: 3 December 2025

This week, our EQA team has been actively contributing to the international dialogue on laboratory medicine and quality assurance at the EQALM Symposium 2025 in Leiden, the Netherlands. 🔬

Representing us were EQA Sales Director Juha Wahlstedt, EQA Solutions Managers Heidi Berghäll and Kristel Virtanen, and Head of EQA Jonna Pelanti.

Here’s how they shared their insights and expertise with European colleagues:

💡 Scientific poster: "From theory to practice: How are biological reference intervals being used?"
Presented by Kristel Virtanen, Heidi Berghäll, our scientific advisor Dalius Vitkus and Jonna Pelanti (pictured).

💡 Poster talk: "End-user-focused EQA to support routine Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) testing."
Presented by Heidi Berghäll (co-authors: Kristel Virtanen, Kati Luiro, Jonna Pelanti).

💡 Oral presentation: "What should be done to make EQA a key component of quality rather than a must-do for accreditation."
Presented by Jonna Pelanti.

We’re proud to be part of advancing external quality assurance in clinical diagnostics across Europe! 🌟
