Most NGS assays classify as <strong>IVDR Class C or D<\/strong>, requiring Notified Body review, comprehensive performance evaluation, and lifecycle documentation. This article covers the 7 critical challenges and practical solutions, informed by MDx&#8217;s experience <a href=\"\/ivdr-ce-marking-large-ngs-panels\/\">CE-marking one of the world&#8217;s first 4,600+ gene panels under IVDR<\/a>.\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/?post_type=service&amp;p=9253\">La secuenciaci\u00f3n de nueva generaci\u00f3n (NGS)<\/a>\n<\/strong> ha revolucionado el diagn\u00f3stico molecular al permitir el an\u00e1lisis simult\u00e1neo de cientos o miles de genes en diversas aplicaciones cl\u00ednicas. Estas incluyen pruebas de l\u00ednea germinal para trastornos hereditarios, perfiles de mutaci\u00f3n som\u00e1tica en oncolog\u00eda, caracterizaci\u00f3n de enfermedades infecciosas y an\u00e1lisis de expresi\u00f3n g\u00e9nica transcript\u00f3mica. <\/p>\n\n<p>A particularly impactful advancement is <strong>liquid-biopsy NGS<\/strong>, which allows non-invasive detection of tumor-derived nucleic acids, such as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or RNA, from blood or other bodily fluids. This method now supports cancer screening, minimal residual disease monitoring, and therapy stratification.<\/p>\n\n<p>NGS also powers <strong>Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP)<\/strong>. These assays assess a wide spectrum of biomarkers, single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions (indels), copy number alterations (CNAs), copy number losses (CNLs), gene fusions, and splicing events, across large panels in a single run. Many workflows also integrate <strong>microsatellite instability (MSI)<\/strong> and <strong>tumor mutational burden (TMB)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Los ensayos pueden variar desde paneles dirigidos hasta la <strong>secuenciaci\u00f3n del exoma completo (WES)<\/strong> o la <strong>secuenciaci\u00f3n del genoma completo (WGS)<\/strong>. Cada formato conlleva necesidades de validaci\u00f3n y requisitos bioinform\u00e1ticos \u00fanicos. La combinaci\u00f3n de tecnolog\u00edas, analitos, tipos de muestras (p. ej., sangre, plasma, FFPE, cfDNA, ARN) y contextos cl\u00ednicos aumenta la complejidad regulatoria.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Seg\u00fan el <strong>Reglamento de la UE sobre productos sanitarios para diagn\u00f3stico <g>in vitro<\/g> (<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A02017R0746-20250110\">IVDR; UE 2017\/746<\/a>)<\/strong>, debe definir claramente cada uso previsto y respaldarlo con evidencia exhaustiva de <strong>validez cient\u00edfica, rendimiento anal\u00edtico y rendimiento cl\u00ednico<\/strong>. Ese requisito exige una <strong>estrategia de documentaci\u00f3n y validaci\u00f3n coordinada e integral<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Para los <strong>fabricantes con marcado CE<\/strong> y los <strong>laboratorios cl\u00ednicos que operan seg\u00fan el <a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/preparacion-del-laboratorio-para-el-ivdr-lista-de-verificacion-de-la-transicion-paso-a-paso\/\">art\u00edculo 5(5)<\/a><\/strong>, el IVDR exige una validaci\u00f3n estructurada, una documentaci\u00f3n clara y una gesti\u00f3n del ciclo de vida. Para los <strong>ensayos basados en NGS<\/strong>, el cumplimiento se vuelve a\u00fan m\u00e1s exigente debido a las complejidades cient\u00edficas, t\u00e9cnicas y operativas. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desaf\u00edos clave en el cumplimiento del IVDR para NGS<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Paneles de genes complejos y diversidad de variantes<\/h3>\n\n<p>Los paneles NGS a menudo incluyen m\u00faltiples genes y tipos de variantes, cada uno con distintas caracter\u00edsticas de rendimiento. Debe demostrar el rendimiento anal\u00edtico (sensibilidad, especificidad, LoD y robustez) por clase de variante. Esta adaptaci\u00f3n aumenta la escala y la complejidad de las pruebas.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Definir un uso previsto claro<\/h3>\n\n<p>Una declaraci\u00f3n de prop\u00f3sito previsto precisa y comprobable ancla el programa. Defina los analitos, el contexto cl\u00ednico, los tipos de muestras, el formato de salida y el papel en la atenci\u00f3n al paciente. Cualquier ambig\u00fcedad corre el riesgo de una clasificaci\u00f3n err\u00f3nea o lagunas de validaci\u00f3n.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Validez cient\u00edfica en muchos analitos y condiciones<\/h3>\n\n<p>Establecer la <a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/?post_type=service&amp;p=9340\">validez cient\u00edfica<\/a> se vuelve un desaf\u00edo cuando una prueba se dirige a docenas o cientos de genes. Seg\u00fan el IVDR, vincule cada analito a una condici\u00f3n cl\u00ednicamente relevante. Esa vinculaci\u00f3n a menudo requiere una extensa revisi\u00f3n de la literatura, referencias de bases de datos y justificaci\u00f3n escrita para la inclusi\u00f3n.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Evidencia de rendimiento cl\u00ednico<\/h3>\n\n<p>Con un amplio alcance gen\u00f3mico, los <a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/services\/estudios-clinicos-de-ivd\/\">estudios cl\u00ednicos<\/a> integrales pueden ser inviables. Un enfoque pragm\u00e1tico combina datos de diagn\u00f3stico de rutina, literatura publicada y un v\u00ednculo claro con los planes de <strong>seguimiento del rendimiento posterior a la comercializaci\u00f3n (PMPF)<\/strong> para respaldar las afirmaciones a lo largo del tiempo. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) Canalizaciones bioinform\u00e1ticas complejas<\/h3>\n\n<p>La bioinform\u00e1tica se encuentra en el centro del diagn\u00f3stico NGS. Valide cada paso, desde la asignaci\u00f3n de bases hasta la anotaci\u00f3n de variantes. Implemente el control de versiones, los desencadenantes de revalidaci\u00f3n claros y la gesti\u00f3n de cambios para mantener un rendimiento constante despu\u00e9s de las actualizaciones de software.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) Uso de reactivos e instrumentos de terceros<\/h3>\n\n<p>Los flujos de trabajo de NGS a menudo incorporan reactivos y plataformas est\u00e1ndar que no fueron originalmente marcados CE como parte del sistema IVD. Documente la compatibilidad, el rendimiento y la trazabilidad de los componentes de terceros para cumplir con las expectativas del IVDR. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7) Etiquetado sin un dispositivo f\u00edsico<\/h3>\n\n<p>Muchos ensayos NGS funcionan como servicios basados en software o LDT sin un dispositivo empaquetado. A\u00fan debe cumplir con el etiquetado del Anexo I y los requisitos de las <strong>Instrucciones de uso (IFU)<\/strong>, incluso sin etiquetas o embalajes f\u00edsicos. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfC\u00f3mo apoya MDx CRO su viaje IVDR?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>MDx CRO<\/strong> aporta experiencia especializada para guiar los programas NGS a trav\u00e9s del IVDR durante todo el ciclo de vida:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/?post_type=service&amp;p=9342\">Evaluaciones de deficiencias<\/a>:<\/strong> Identifique las deficiencias regulatorias y priorice la remediaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan de evaluaci\u00f3n del rendimiento (PEP):<\/strong> Elabore PEP que equilibren el rigor anal\u00edtico con la viabilidad operativa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Supervisi\u00f3n del <a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/?post_type=service&amp;p=9345\">estudio anal\u00edtico<\/a>:<\/strong> Dise\u00f1e estudios estad\u00edsticamente s\u00f3lidos adaptados a paneles complejos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mdxcro.com\/es\/?post_type=service&amp;p=9204\">Validaci\u00f3n bioinform\u00e1tica<\/a>:<\/strong> Mapee y valide cada componente de software seg\u00fan <strong>IEC 62304<\/strong> e <strong>ISO 13485<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integraci\u00f3n de QMS:<\/strong> Cree documentaci\u00f3n lista para auditor\u00edas, gesti\u00f3n de riesgos y trazabilidad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Estrategias de PMS y PMPF:<\/strong> Establezca sistemas de evidencia del mundo real que mantengan el cumplimiento y respalden las afirmaciones cl\u00ednicas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774282697503\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What IVDR class are NGS-based diagnostic tests?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Most NGS-based diagnostic tests fall into IVDR Class C because they typically provide high-risk individual patient information (e.g., germline disease or somatic mutation profiling). NGS assays used for infectious disease with high public health risk may classify as Class D. Classification depends on the specific intended use, clinical claims, and risk profile of each test.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774282711313\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you validate an NGS bioinformatics pipeline for IVDR compliance?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Under IVDR, bioinformatics pipelines must be validated as medical device software following IEC 62304 and IEC 82304-1. This includes documenting the software architecture, implementing version control and change management, verifying variant calling accuracy at each step (base calling, alignment, variant annotation), and establishing revalidation triggers for software updates. Risk management per ISO 14971 must also be integrated into the software lifecycle.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774339182112\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you demonstrate scientific validity for a large NGS gene panel under IVDR?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For large panels covering hundreds or thousands of genes, a tiered evidence strategy is recommended. This combines validation of exome sequencing as a methodology, reliance on curated public databases (e.g., ClinVar, OMIM) for gene-disease associations, and deep exemplar evidence for high-prevalence genes. Low-prevalence genes are supported through a structured Post-Market Performance Follow-up (PMPF) plan that matures evidence over time.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774339205583\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do clinical laboratories running NGS LDTs need to comply with IVDR?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Under IVDR Article 5(5), EU health institutions manufacturing and using in-house IVDs (including NGS-based laboratory-developed tests) must meet six specific conditions: justification that no equivalent CE-marked device meets patient needs, ISO 15189-compliant QMS, alignment with IVDR General Safety and Performance Requirements, documentation of design and manufacture, and publication of a public declaration. Laboratories that cannot meet these conditions must pursue CE marking.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1774339227046\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the biggest challenges in achieving IVDR compliance for NGS assays?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The seven key challenges are: (1) demonstrating analytical performance across complex gene panels and diverse variant types, (2) defining a precise intended use statement, (3) establishing scientific validity across many analytes, (4) generating clinical performance evidence at scale, (5) validating bioinformatics pipelines as medical device software, (6) documenting third-party reagents and instruments not originally CE-marked, and (7) meeting IVDR labelling requirements for software-based or service-based assays without a physical device.\u00bb <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusi\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n<p>Lograr el cumplimiento del IVDR para los ensayos NGS plantea un desaf\u00edo multidimensional que combina la disciplina regulatoria con la profundidad cient\u00edfica. Desde la definici\u00f3n del uso previsto hasta la gesti\u00f3n de los cambios de software y las afirmaciones cl\u00ednicas, cada paso se beneficia de la claridad, la estructura y la previsi\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>MDx CRO<\/strong> partners with diagnostics developers and clinical laboratories to turn regulatory complexity into actionable validation strategies, accelerating time to market while protecting long-term compliance and patient safety.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:67px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"border-top:2px solid #e5e7eb;margin-top:40px;padding-top:32px;\">\n  <h2>Related Reading<\/h2>\n  <ul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\">\n    <li style=\"padding:12px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f3f4f6;\">\n      <a href=\"\/ivdr-ce-marking-large-ngs-panels\/\" style=\"font-weight:600;color:#0000F0;text-decoration:none;\">\n        Case Study: How MDx Helped Fulgent Achieve CE Marking for a 4,600+ Gene NGS Panel Under IVDR\n      <\/a>\n      <p style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#6b7280;\">\n        The step-by-step playbook, from QMS build to T\u00dcV S\u00dcD audit, for certifying one of the world&#8217;s largest germline NGS solutions as a Class C IVD.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/li>\n    <li style=\"padding:12px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f3f4f6;\">\n      <a href=\"\/services\/ngs-services\/\" style=\"font-weight:600;color:#0000F0;text-decoration:none;\">\n        NGS Validation &#038; IVDR Compliance Services\n      <\/a>\n      <p style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#6b7280;\">\n        End-to-end support for NGS assay development, bioinformatics pipeline validation, clinical performance studies, and regulatory submissions.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/li>\n    <li style=\"padding:12px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f3f4f6;\">\n      <a href=\"\/sectors\/laboratories\/\" style=\"font-weight:600;color:#0000F0;text-decoration:none;\">\n        Laboratory IVDR Compliance: Article 5(5), ISO 15189 &#038; LDT Transition\n      <\/a>\n      <p style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#6b7280;\">\n        For clinical labs running NGS-based LDTs, how to meet IVDR requirements without disrupting operations.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/li>\n    <li style=\"padding:12px 0;\">\n      <a href=\"\/esmo-2025-ivdr-ce-marking-ngs-poster\/\" style=\"font-weight:600;color:#0000F0;text-decoration:none;\">\n        ESMO 2025: MDx Poster on IVDR CE Marking for Large NGS Panels\n      <\/a>\n      <p style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:13px;color:#6b7280;\">\n        Peer-reviewed poster presented at ESMO Berlin, distilling the regulatory pathway and audit lessons for complex NGS certification.\n      <\/p>\n    <\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR | What You Need to Know NGS-based IVDs face unique IVDR compliance challenges, from validating bioinformatics pipelines under IEC 62304 to demonstrating scientific validity across thousands of genes.
