SALDA In Vitro Diagnostics in South Africa Welcome 5 November 2014 Portfolio Committee Bill 6 2014 In Vitro Diagnostic Tests A new era of regulatory oversight is welcomed What are In Vitro Diagnostic Tests? How do they differ from Medical Devices and Medicines The current regulatory framework in laboratories What are the “Point of Care Tests” risks to the patient What is the Minister’s vision for IVD legislation, regulation and guidelines Minister of Health Objectives BURDEN OF DISEASE IVDs ARE NOT MEDICAL DEVICES IVDs ARE NOT USED IN OR ON THE BODY IVD STAKEHOLDERS AND SUPPORTING LEGISLATURE IVDs WORKING TOGETHER MINISTERS INITIATIVES UNIQUE HEALTH NEEDS MET SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL BLOOD SERVICE I HAVE LIFE IN VIVO = OUTSIDE THE BODY IVDs PROVIDE INFORMATION NOT THERAPIES TECHNOLOGIST ANALYSIS EXPERIENCE Go to doctor Doctor writes script Phlebotomist draws sample Doctor assesses patient Patient and form goes to laboratory Need in vitro diagnostics Y/N Complete request form Sample separated and sent to appropriate department Qualified technologist processes sample In vitro tests pre validated in an ISO 15189 accredited environment Doctor assesses results Pathologist sends results to doctor Pathologist collates test results with clinical results IVDs = HEALTH SYSTEM IVDs ARE EVERYWHERE NURSES DO IN VIVO DIAGNOSTICS = IN OR ON THE BODY IN VIVO IS DIFFERENT TO IN VITRO DIAGNOSTICS In Vitro Diagnostic tests are : • • • • • • • • reagent products, calibrators, control materials, kits, diagnostic instruments, apparatus, large capital equipment, software systems or specimen receptacles; whether used alone or in combination with other IVDs, intended by the manufacturer to be used in vitro (outside the body) for the examination of specimens derived from the human body, animals or the environment, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information: • concerning a physiological or pathological state; • concerning a congenital abnormality; • concerning the predisposition to a medical condition or a disease; • To determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients; • To predict treatment response or reactions; • To define or monitor therapeutic measures; • For the surveillance of materials in the environment for biological contaminants that would potentially affect public health; • For surveillance for epidemiological purposes; • For forensic determination; An accessory to an in vitro diagnostic test means an article which, whilst not being an in vitro diagnostic test, is intended by its manufacturer to be used together with one or several particular in vitro diagnostic tests to specifically enable or assist the in vitro diagnostic test to be used in accordance with its/their intended purpose(s); This excludes IVDs where the intended use is for non-clinical purposes without any medical or public health objective such as “RUO - Research use only” In Vitro Diagnostics. Point Of Care Tests can be classified under the following definitions: • In Vitro Diagnostic tests for near-patient testing: These tests are not for self-testing but could be performed outside the laboratory setting by a qualified Medical Technologist. This enables quicker results. • Companion In Vitro Diagnostic tests: To define or monitor therapeutic measures. • In Vitro Diagnostic test for self-testing: Rapid Tests done by a lay person, and are not companion diagnostic tests.
