An in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) device is defined as a device which is intended for the in-vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body principally to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes. These in-vitro diagnostic instruments can be used alone or in combination. In-vitro diagnostics involves tests performed on samples such as blood or tissue that have been collected from the human body. It helps to monitor a person’s overall health check up to help treat or prevent diseases. Devices can range from simple tests to sophisticated DNA technology including reagents, control materials, calibrators, and related instruments.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is involved in regulation of IVD, since the introduction of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976. FDA classifies in-vitro diagnostic instruments into Class I, II, or III, according to level of regulatory control which is necessary to assure safety and effectiveness. The classification of an IVD determines appropriate premarket process. The Code of Federal Regulations lists the classification of existing in-vitro diagnostic instruments in 21 CFR 862, 21 CFR 864, and 21 CFR 866.
