IVDR Annexes — all 16
Annexes I–XVI of Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR). The IVDR contains 16 Annexes (compared to MDR's 17) that largely mirror the MDR structure with significant adaptations for the in vitro diagnostic context. Key differences include IVD-specific classification rules, conformity assessment procedures emphasizing analytical and clinical performance rather than clinical investigations, and performance evaluation requirements that focus on analytical validity, clinical validity, and clinical utility.
