• s41FK(a) - Lapsing of the application • Regulation 9.2 – The audit fee is payable within 28 calendar days • Regulation 9.7 – Reduction of assessment fees – abridged
assessment
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Regulation 5.3(1)(j)
(i) Non assay specific quality control material monitoring a Class 4 IVD (ii) An IVD intended for self-testing (iii) An IVD intended for point of care testing (iv) A Class 3 IVD intended to detect a sexually transmitted agent (v) An IVD for managing and monitoring the treatment of infections diagnosed
using a Class 4 IVD medical device (vi) An IVD supplied under the pharmaceutical benefits scheme (vii) An IVD used in a national screening program (viii) Where the TGA is not satisfied that the body issuing certification has the
appropriate expertise in relation to the assessment of conformity assessment procedures implemented by the manufacturer
IVD Medical Device applications that must be selected for audit
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Where the TGA is not satisfied that the body issuing the certification has the appropriate expertise
• Class 3 IVD – moderate public health risk or high personal risk • Supported by ISO 13485 Certification only – quality management system
compliance • No evidence of product review or compliance with the Essential Principles • Audit is required to ensure conformity assessment procedures have been
applied to this kind of device to confirm IVD safety and efficacy
Regulation 5.3(1)(j)(viii)
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Technical File • Represents information held by the manufacturer generated by
− Quality management system, design, development and production • GHTF STED - provides a guide • s41FH Initial request includes a detailed request for information • s41JA request if further information is required • Depth and detail of the information primarily dependant on risk
classification of the device • For an application containing multiple IVDs of the same kind,
generally detailed information about one IVD will be requested. • Processing time of the audit is dependant on a number of factors
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Essential Principles 1 - Use of a medical device not to compromise health and safety 3 - Medical device to be suitable for intended purpose 5 - Medical devices not to be adversely affected by transport or storage 6 - Benefits to outweigh any undesirable effects 9.2 - Minimisation of risks associated with use of medical devices 10 - Measurements made must be expressed as Australian units 13 - Information to be provided with medical devices 14 - Clinical evidence – appropriate for the use and classification of the
device 15 - Principles applying to IVD medical devices only
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Essential Principles (cont.)
13.1 - General 13.2 - Location – unless impracticable or inappropriate - must be
provided on the device itself 13.3 - Particular requirements 13.4 - Instructions for use
EP 13 : Information to be provided with medical devices
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Essential Principles (cont.)
15.1 - The analytical and clinical characteristics support intended use 15.2 - Accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, stability, control of
interference and measurement of uncertainty as appropriate 15.3 - Traceability of calibrators and controls must be assured 15.4 - Verification the IVD has performed as intended at the time of use 15.5 - Particular requirements for self-testing by a lay person 15.6 - Instructions for self-testing must be easy to understand and apply 15.7 - The reduction of risk for self-testing
EP15: Principles applying to IVD medical devices only
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
What is Assessed? • Is the application correct? • Evidence of appropriate conformity assessment procedures
including the manufacturer`s declaration of conformity • Check :
− EP compliance, Advertising, Excluded Purposes − Intended User – laboratory, point of care, self-testing − Assay principle and components − Device history, design and manufacturing information
• Risk Analysis (ISO 14971:2007) • Labelling and IFU • Stability Studies – shelf life, in use, transport
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
What is Assessed? (cont.) • Analytical Performance
− Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, traceability, measurement range
• Clinical Utility • Clinical Evidence Report
− EP 14 and Part 8 of Schedule 3 • Clinical Performance
− Correlating the use of the IVD with a specific clinical condition
− A measure of the IVDs ability to correctly identify patients as either having or not having a particular condition
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 1 • Happy Home Urine Screen
• Class 2 IVD – Self-Testing – screening test for urinary tract infection
• The information provided is acceptable
• Demonstrates compliance with the EPs
• Demonstrates the IVD is safe and efficacious
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 1 (cont.)
• Clinical Evaluation (A) − 2000 random urine samples − Results compared to culture (gold standard) and cell
count (microscopy) − Sensitivity 90% Specificity 90%
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 1 (cont.) • Clinical Evaluation (B)
− 100 lay people following the IFU only − Test - their own urine − Test - blinded positive and negative specimens − Completed questionnaire on IFU suitability − Results were confirmed by culture/comparator
devices/trained individuals − Sensitivity and Specificity 100%
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 1 (cont.)
• Clinical Evaluation (C) − 150 specimens from 3 clinical sites from symptomatic
individuals − Tested by trained individuals and confirmed by culture − Sensitivity 96% Specificity 80%
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 2 • Genetic Mutation XYZ Assay
• Class 3 IVD – Genetic Alteration IVD – detection of circulating cancer cells
• The information provided is acceptable
• Demonstrates compliance with the EPs in relation to analytical performance
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 2 (cont.) • Clinical Evaluation
− Clinical samples evaluated covering the assay range − Clinical sample number low (<100) − Samples were evaluated and compared to the gold standard − Assay is linear, sensitive and specific over the assay range
• Treatment of the condition is very effective
• The function of the assay is to detect a patient relapse
• Untreated relapses can be aggressive
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 2 (cont.)
Session C2: IVDs - Application audits (technical file reviews)
Example 2 (cont.) • Clinical Evaluation
− Limited clinical data is available around the decision point
− Results at this low level show increased variation − Missing a relapse could have serious
consequences for the patient − Further clinical data is required
