IVDR Performance Evaluation Checklist (PER)

Oct 10, 2025

IVDR demands a robust Performance Evaluation Report (PER) built on scientific validity, analytical performance, and clinical performance. Use this checklist to validate your package before NB review.

1) Scientific validity

  • Intended purpose, specimen types, user profile, and target population.
  • State-of-the-art analysis and references supporting clinical background.
  • Trace scientific validity claims to evidence and labeling.

2) Analytical performance

  • Sensitivity/specificity, LoD/LoQ, precision, reproducibility, linearity.
  • Inclusivity/exclusivity, interfering substances, hook/prozone effects.
  • Stability, transport, storage, and sample handling studies.
  • Software/algorithm validation (if applicable) and version control.

3) Clinical performance

  • Study design, endpoints, comparators, and statistical analysis plan.
  • Cohort representativeness, bias mitigation, and missing data handling.
  • Usability/human factors for near-patient tests.
  • Post-market clinical performance follow-up (PMPF) triggers and design.

4) Risk management and labeling linkage

  • Hazards and mitigations linked to analytical/clinical evidence.
  • IFU/label claims aligned to proven performance and limitations.
  • Residual risk evaluation and benefit-risk conclusions.

How MedReg AI helps

  • Map your PER to IVDR Annex XIII and MDCG expectations.
  • Flag evidence gaps across analytical, clinical, and labeling claims.
  • Produce a concise IVDR gap report for internal reviews or NB submissions.
