Combining in vitro diagnostic medical devices efficiently

In vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs) are often used in combination with other devices and equipment, and this needs to be planned and managed carefully so that the combination does not impair the performance of any of the individual devices, according to a Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) bulletin issued recently.

When planning to employ IVDs in combination, users should be familiar with any restrictions and requirements set out by the manufacturers in the instructions for use. They may also choose to perform additional testing to support and supplement available evidence about the performance of the combination.
