The EU legislation for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices, In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR), was applied on May 26, 2022, after the five-year transition period ended. Thermo Fisher Scientific is committed to supporting clinical laboratories across the EU in preparation for the transition to this regulation.
To this effect, we have been working diligently to ensure that the Applied Biosystems MagMAX Viral/Pathogen II (MVP II) Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Cat. No. A48383), and VeritiPro Dx Thermal Cycler will be compliant with the regulations and be labeled with the CE mark. These products in the sample preparation workflow provide sample collection to extraction results, for further downstream analysis.

A. All PCR plastics, seals, and tubes are considered general laboratory consumables and are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices, which means that PCR plastics will not be regulated under the European IVDR. By the beginning of 2023, the RUO label will be removed from all PCR plastics produced, since PCR plastics are not regulated under IVDR, the RUO label can be misleading. The change in labeling has been assessed in accordance with IVDR (EU) 2017/746 and MDCG 2020-16 Guidance on Classification Rules for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device under Regulation (EU) 2017/746.
