How to classify IVD medical devices
According to applicable laws, IVD medical devices are classified into the following four categories:
Level A - Low personal risk and low public health risk;
Level B - moderate personal risk and/or low public health risk;
Level C - High personal risk and/or moderate public health risk;
Level D - High personal risk and high public health risk.
This guide also provides examples of classifying different IVD medical devices based on the above rules.
Risk level determination
To assist medical device manufacturers in determining the correct category for application, the Administration has provided additional instructions on how to follow classification rules. According to this guide, the steps to be taken include the following:
Determine whether the relevant products constitute in vitro diagnostic medical devices and therefore fall within the scope of IVD classification rules;
Apply classification rules based on the intended use of the device and related risks, and when multiple classification rules are applicable, apply higher level classification rules;
