IVDR Certificate

BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG is proud to announce the achievement of its first “EU Quality Management System Certificate (IVDR)” from TÜV SÜD Product Service, one of the notified bodies under the new In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR), already in February 2022. The certification applies to more than 16 products of BÜHLMANNs product portfolio.

This “EU Quality Management System Certificate (IVDR)” is mandatory for any manufacturer of In Vitro Diagnostic Devices (IVDs) to issue declarations of conformity for their products and to have them (re-)certified in compliance with the new regulation.

BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG fully supports the new In Vitro Diagnostics Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR 2017/746) as it aims to ensure a smooth functioning of the EU market based on a high level of health protection for patients and users.

As BÜHLMANN offers several different product groups the completion of all IVDR certifications is still an ongoing process. BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG is actively managing this important transition to ensure its products are continuously available to healthcare professionals and patients without any interruptions.

MDSAP certification

The Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) is a program that allows the conduct of a single regulatory audit of a medical device manufacturer’s quality management system, focused on the Quality Management System (QMS) and regulatory requirements, that satisfies the requirements of multiple regulatory jurisdictions participating in the program.

Our Quality Management System is, according to MDSAP, additionally based on the requirements of US Quality Systems Regulations (21 CFR 820), Australian Therapeutic Goods (Medical Devices) Regulations (TG(MD)R Sch3), Brazilian Good Manufacturing Practices (RDC ANVISA 16/2013) and the Canadian Medical Device Regulations SOR/98-282, as well as the applicable GMP requirements.

BÜHLMANN works with its distribution partners to ensure compliance with regulations in countries not mentioned above, e.g.: Japan – Japanese QMS Ordinance (MHLW MO 169), Korea – Act on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices from Korean MFDS and Taiwan – Taiwan’s Pharmaceutical Affairs Act.

Certification is a proof of quality. It also provides an advantage for you, our customers. Because of certifications, you can easily distinguish between higher quality and lower quality suppliers of IVD products. ISO 13485 and MDSAP certification enables BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG to conduct business internationally in the highly-regulated sectors of the European Union and other countries worldwide.

 

International Regulatory that are participating in the MDSAP include:

Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia
Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária
Health Canada
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
