What is Scientific Validity?

Scientific validity is concerned with the association of the analyte of a device with one or more clinical conditions or physiological states (Regulation 2017/746, Art. 2, definition 38). This association is a fundamental factor in the justification process for development and production of IVD devices. 

At Qarad, we can provide you with scientific validity reports that follow the procedures as stipulated by the IVD Regulation (Annex XIII, 1.2.1). The service is entirely based on a systematic literature study and involves:

  • Identification and revision of the scientific validity claims for the intended purpose of the IVD device, in collaboration with the customer
  • Systematic search and selection of peer-reviewed literature on each scientific validity claim
  • Critical evaluation of the literature and writing of the scientific validity report
  • Documentation of the systematic literature procedures in three documents:
    • Literature search and selection protocol
    • Literature selection tables
    • Literature search and selection report
  • Revision cycle with the customer to further guarantee that the scientific validity is adequately established
