Drugdu.com expert’s response: For IVD reagents with different sampling methods, their registration inspection and clinical evaluation need to follow certain procedures and standards to ensure product safety and effectiveness. Below is a detailed breakdown of this process: I. Registration Inspection 1.Selection of Representative Specifications for Inspection: According to the Measures for the Registration of In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents, if a registration application includes different packaging specifications (such as different sampling methods), one representative specification can be selected for inspection. The selected specification should cover the key performance parameters of all sampling methods, such as the limit of detection (LoD) and precision. 2. Performance Verification Items: Key Parameter Verification: This includes accuracy, precision (repeatability/reproducibility), LoD, limit of quantitation (LoQ), linear range, matrix effect, cross-reactivity, etc. Sampling Method Specificity Verification: Testing should be conducted separately for different sampling methods (e.g., manual/automatic, different sampling volumes) to ensure consistency in results. Communication with Inspection Agencies: ...
