    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a new In-vitro Diagnostics (IVD's)?

    A new in-vitro diagnostic is any Medical Device mentioned in sub-clause (A) of clause (zb), which is intended to be used for in vitro diagnostics. The device may not be approved for manufacture, sale, or import by the Central Licensing Authority. It is only being tested to establish its performance for relevant analyse or other parameters, including the required details of technology and procedure.

    Is clinical performance evaluation required for grant of Permission to manufacture or import a new IVD of Class A?

    No. The Clinical Performance Evaluation may not be necessary; if otherwise, the Central Licensing Authority decides it is necessary depending on the nature of the IVD.

    Is CDSCO capable of cancelling or suspending the grant of Permission?

    The Central Licensing Authority, CDSCO, may suspend or cancel the grant of Permission if the manufacturer or the importer fails to comply with any of the conditions of the Permission. In addition, CDSCO may partly or entirely cancel the Permission or suspend it for a particular period.

    If the approval or marketing authorisation is issued by the competent Authorities in Canada, Japan, E.U., U.K., Australia, and the USA, will it be considered for exemption of Clinical Performance Evaluation of New IVD's (Class B, C and D) in India.

    No. The Clinical Performance Evaluation (CPE)will not be exempted. The CPE should be conducted in India to approve new IVDs, irrespective of their regulatory status in other countries.

    What are the minimum criteria for evaluation of IVD Kits or reagents intended for Chikungunya, Typhoid, Malaria, T.B., Dengue, Cancer, Syphilis and other Class B and C IVD kits?

    The minimum performance criteria of IVDs like clinical specificity, sensitivity, repeatability, accuracy, reproducibility, linearity, variance, etc., should follow the manufacturer's claim in the product insert, IFU and COA.
