Certifications

BDR’s commitment to regulatory compliance has led us to certify a Quality Management System (QMS) under the requirements of ISO 13485:2016 and the European Regulation 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices.

BDR ensures the safety and proper performance of its products. To this end, both safety and performance studies of its products are carried out and these are subjected to a conformity assessment until EC Certification is obtained.

BDR carries out post-market surveillance processes (PMS) in order to collect the necessary data for product improvement and avoid possible problems as well as to establish reactive measures.

BDR is aware of the importance of the safety of the patients and end users of the products and works actively in the product vigilance system, collaborating with the competent health authorities and distributors to cover the whole supply chain. BDR is up to date with advances in the digitization of the information for medical devices and registers its products in the European EUDAMED database, which also contains the Summary Safety Performance (SSP) of the products.

ISO Certificate

Since 2011, the BDR´s QMS is certified according to EN ISO 13485. In 2021 it has been adapted and recertified to meet the requirements of IVDR 2017/746, Annex IX, Chapter 1 and 3. The QMS is constantly reviewed on its effectiveness through internal and external audits.

The scope of the certification includes the design, development, production and distribution of in vitro diagnostic products in the areas of immunology and genetics.

The QMS is based on a risk-based approach that allows the organization to identify factors that could generate deviations from the ISO 13485 standard and to implement preventive controls in order to minimize negative effects and better recognize market opportunities by anticipating trends.

EC Certificates

BDR products comply with the requirements of the European Regulation 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices. IVDR, compared to IVDD, means an stricter oversight by competent authorities and notified bodies, as well as more extensive performance evaluations by the manufacturer.

Some BDR products are still manufactured under the requirements of Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices. The transition to IVDR is progressive.

Both certifications ensure product quality and compliance with regulatory requirements.
