THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 98/79/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 October 1998 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 5(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 5(3) of Directive 98/79/EC, Member States are to presume compliance with the essential requirements referred to in Article 3 of that Directive in respect of devices designed and manufactured in conformity with common technical specifications. The common technical specifications for in vitro diagnostic medical devices are laid down in Commission Decision 2002/364/EC(2).
(2) In the interest of public health and patient safety and in order to reflect scientific and technological progress, including the evolution in the intended use, performance, and analytical sensitivity of certain devices, it is appropriate to update the common technical specifications laid down in Decision 2002/364/EC.
(3) The definitions of first-line assays and confirmatory assays, requirements for devices for self-testing and requirements for HIV and HCV rapid tests, confirmatory and supplementary assays should be amended in order to take into account the evolved state of the art, the changes in clinical needs, new scientific knowledge available and the new types of devices present on the market.
(4) The manufacturers should be allowed time to adapt to the changes in common technical specifications. The date of application of this Decision should therefore be deferred. However, in the interest of public health and patient safety, manufacturers should be allowed to comply with the common technical specifications as amended by this Decision before its date of application on a voluntary basis.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 6(2) of Council Directive 90/385/EEC(3),
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
The Annex to Decision 2002/364/EC is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
1.This Decision shall apply from 2 March 2021.
2.Notwithstanding paragraph 1, from 2 March 2020 until 1 July 2020 Member States shall apply the presumption of compliance laid down in Article 5(3) of Directive 98/79/EC for all in vitro diagnostic medical devices that comply with any of the following:
(a)the common technical specifications laid down in Decision 2002/364/EC as amended by Commission Decision 2011/869/EU(4);
(b)the common technical specifications laid down in Decision 2002/364/EC as amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1244(5);
(c)the common technical specifications laid down in Decision 2002/364/EC as amended by this Decision.
3.Notwithstanding paragraph 1, from 2 July 2020 until 1 March 2021 Member States shall apply the presumption of compliance laid down in Article 5(3) of Directive 98/79/EC for all in vitro diagnostic medical devices that comply with either of the following:
(a)the common technical specifications laid down in Decision 2002/364/EC as amended by Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/1244;
(b)the common technical specifications laid down in Decision 2002/364/EC as amended by this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 28 February 2020.
For the Commission
Stella Kyriakides
Member of the Commission
The Annex to Decision 2002/364/EC is amended as follows:
Section 2 is amended as follows:
the following definition of ‘First line assay’ is inserted between the definition of ‘Whole system failure rate’ and the definition of ‘Confirmation assay’:
‘First-line assay
First-line assay means an assay used to detect a marker or analyte, and which may be followed by a confirmatory assay. Devices intended solely to be used to monitor a previously determined marker or analyte are not considered first-line assays.’;
the definition of ‘Confirmation assay’ is replaced by the following:
‘Confirmatory assay
Confirmatory assay means an assay used for the confirmation of a reactive result from a first-line assay.’;
Section 3 is amended as follows:
Sub-section 3.1.1 is replaced by the following:
Devices which detect virus infections shall meet the requirements for sensitivity and specificity set out in Table 1, Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5, which apply to them taking account of the intended purpose of the devices concerned, virus type and entities to be detected (antigen and/or antibody). See also principle 3.1.11 for first-line assays.’;
Sub-section 3.1.3 is replaced by the following:
Devices for self-testing shall meet the same CTS requirements for sensitivity and specificity as respective devices for professional use. Relevant parts of the performance evaluation shall be carried out (or repeated) by appropriate lay users to validate the operation of the device and the instructions for use. The lay users selected for the performance evaluation shall be representative of the intended users groups.
Performance evaluation of a device for self-testing shall include, for each body fluid claimed for use with the device, e.g. whole blood, urine, saliva, etc., at least 200 lay users that are known positive for the infection and at least 400 lay users that do not know their status, of which at least 200 are at high risk of acquiring the infection. The sensitivity and specificity of the device for self-testing in the hands of lay users shall be defined against the confirmed patient infectious status.’;
Sub-section 3.1.9 is replaced by the following:
Performance evaluation of first line assays shall include 25 positive (if available in the case of rare infections) ‘same day’ fresh serum samples (≤ 1 day after sampling).’;
Sub-section 3.1.11 is replaced by the following:
For performance evaluations for first line assays (Table 1 and Table 3) blood donor populations shall be investigated from at least two blood donation centers and consist of consecutive blood donations, which have not been selected to exclude first time donors.’;
Sub-section 3.4.2 is replaced by the following:
The manufacturer’s batch release testing for first line assays shall include at least 100 specimens negative for the relevant analyte.’.
Table 1 is replaced by the following:
