Frequently Asked Questions

Ask us a Question
  • How does MDx ensure AI-generated content meets IVDR requirements?

    Our AI tools assist with search, screening, and data extraction, but final analysis and conclusions are always developed and validated by our expert team of former Notified Body reviewers and PhD-level scientists. Every report undergoes a comprehensive quality check against MDCG 2022-2 and IVDR requirements.

  • What literature databases do you use for scientific validity searches?

    Our AI-enhanced approach searches multiple databases simultaneously, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and specialty databases relevant to your specific analyte. We also search for gray literature, clinical trial registries, and regulatory/government publications.

  • How do you handle novel biomarkers with limited literature?

    For novel biomarkers, we expand searches to include related biomarkers, biological pathways, and preclinical data. Our AI tools can identify subtle connections in the scientific literature that might be missed through manual searches. We then work with you to determine if the available evidence is sufficient or if additional clinical evidence generation is needed.

  • Can you update existing scientific validity documentation to meet IVDR requirements?

    Yes. We frequently help clients transition existing documentation to IVDR-compliant scientific validity reports. Our AI tools can rapidly analyze your current documentation, identify gaps, and generate updated reports that meet Annex XIII, Section 1.2.1 requirements.

  • How quickly can you deliver scientific validity reports?

    Our AI-enhanced approach typically delivers reports 60% faster than traditional methods. Depending on complexity, reports can be completed in 1-2 weeks, compared to the industry standard of 4-8 weeks.

  • Do you support MDCG 2022-2 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev 4 compliance?

    Absolutely. Our methodology is fully aligned with both MDCG 2022-2 and the principles of MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev 4, ensuring reports meet current regulatory expectations for systematic literature reviews and scientific validity assessment.
