Theme: Regulation & Compliance
After a decade of audits I can tell you what a reviewer does first, and it is not the label or the wiring diagram—it is the intended-purpose statement.
In an IVDR technical file review for a blood analyzer, the intended purpose cascades into every other claim you make. If that one paragraph is vague, reviewers will interrogate your clinical evidence, your usability validation and your performance data with far less patience. Get the intended purpose right, and the rest of the file has a fighting chance. Every other section—design, risk management, verification and validation, post-market surveillance—is judged against it.
The evidence that carries weight
Reviewers weight analytical performance studies, reproducibility across operators and sites, and usability testing with realistic users most heavily. A clean 5-part differential performance study, well-documented carryover and linearity data, and usability testing with actual lab technicians will move your file through faster than acres of boilerplate.
What sinks most submisssions
The most common rejection reasons are traceability failures: a risk-management item that does not link to a verification activity, a requirement without a test, or a spec change that was never re-verified. Keep a single traceability matrix from intended purpose to requirements to tests to risk items, and keep it current.

Why This Matters: Authoritative Context
Regulatory context is grounded in primary sources: the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation 2017/746 (IVDR) defines the transition and classification duties the industry tracks, the U.S. FDA’s 510(k) and De Novo pathways govern US market access under 21 CFR Part 820, and ISO 15189 and ISO 13485 set the quality and laboratory-management benchmarks referenced throughout. For WHO Prequalification, the WHO In Vitro Diagnostics and Laboratory Technology programme publishes the specifications and performance requirements that prequalification assessments apply. Consulting these primary texts keeps a sourcing or validation decision honest and defensible.
