PRACTICAL IVDR TRAINING DEVELOPED BY CLINICAL EXPERTS

The In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/746 sets out the EU regulatory framework for IVDs. Understanding its requirements helps professionals recognise how their work contributes to device safety, performance and regulatory compliance.

Our online IVDR course introduces the regulation with a focus on its application to clinical research. You will explore how device classification and conformity assessment connect with performance evaluation, clinical evidence and the responsibilities of those involved in IVD development and studies.

The training also examines the planning, conduct and documentation of performance studies, alongside technical documentation, regulatory records and preparation for audits and inspections.

You will learn why these responsibilities continue after a device reaches the market, including the role of post-market surveillance and post-market performance follow-up (PMPF).

Practical examples and knowledge checks throughout the course help you connect the requirements with the decisions, documentation and activities you may encounter in your role.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT IVDR TRAINING

What is the IVDR?

The IVDR is the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/746. It establishes EU requirements for devices used to examine samples from the human body to provide medical information, such as diagnostic tests.

It covers areas, including; device classification, conformity assessment, performance evaluation, performance studies and post-market activities.

Can I complete the IVDR course online?

Yes. The course is delivered online and is self-paced, so you can fit your learning around your professional and personal commitments. There are no scheduled classroom sessions to attend.

Can organisations purchase multiple IVDR course licences?

Yes. We offer team licences for organisations training several people or coordinating learning across different functions.

The corporate training options support learner enrolment, progress tracking and centralised administration. Contact us with your approximate learner numbers to request a tailored quotation.

Will I receive an IVDR training certificate?

Yes. You will receive a certificate after successfully completing the course, providing a record of your IVDR training.

The certificate demonstrates course completion; it does not certify a device or organisation as compliant with the regulation.

What makes Integrity Clinical Compliance’s training different?

Our course draws on the experience of clinical research professionals and focuses on how IVDR requirements relate to practical research activities.

Examples, scenarios and case studies help you understand the context behind the requirements, while interactive knowledge checks reinforce your learning. The aim is to help you use that knowledge in your work, from understanding study responsibilities to recognising the importance of complete regulatory records.

Who should complete online IVDR training?

This course is suitable for professionals whose work involves in vitro diagnostic medical devices, performance studies or related compliance activities, including:

  • Clinical research professionals and study monitors
  • Performance study managers and coordinators
  • Investigators and research-site personnel
  • Regulatory affairs professionals
  • Quality assurance and compliance teams
  • IVD manufacturers and development teams
  • Sponsors, CRO personnel and consultants
  • Professionals involved in post-market surveillance and performance follow-up

It is relevant both to people building their initial knowledge and to experienced professionals seeking a structured refresher.

Do I need previous clinical research experience?

No. The course is designed to be accessible to learners with little or no previous clinical research experience.

It also supports professionals who already work in clinical research, quality or regulatory roles and want to expand their understanding of IVD requirements.

Does the course cover performance studies and post-market responsibilities?

Yes. The course addresses performance studies, performance evaluation and clinical evidence, alongside technical documentation and stakeholder responsibilities.

It also introduces post-market surveillance and post-market performance follow-up, helping you understand how evidence gathering and oversight continue throughout the device lifecycle.
