For ivd manufacturers

Pratia supports IVD manufacturers with biosample collection programs designed to meet requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR). With our detailed knowledge of the legislative framework we assist the manufacturers of in vitro diagnostics to meet the IVDR requirements. Our know-how also includes the preparation of all documentation for IVDR, including clinical evaluations and the Performance Evaluation Plan (PEP).

Services

Data management

We provide statistical analysis of clinical data, preparation of Case Report Forms (CRFs), and monitoring in collaboration with local partners.

IVDR documentation

We prepare the documentation package in accordance with the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) No. 2017/746 (IVDR) and arrange its submission to the ethics committee and the relevant regulatory authorities.

Sample collection

Thanks to our vast network, we can obtain a significant quantity of various types of clinical samples quickly.

Validation of CE IVD Kits

We verify the performance evaluation of IVD kits in accordance with requirements of IVDR regulation.

Analysis of samples

We verify the quality and parameters of collected samples, analyze their physiological and biochemical properties, we control the sample labeling, and assess other necessary characteristics

Recruitment campaigns

We run integrated campaigns using both digital and traditional media. Our multichannel patient outreach includes SEO/SEM, targeted social media, educational websites, as well as offline channels like print, radio, and outdoor ads.

Storage of samples

We offer temporary storage of biological samples in Ultra Low Temperature Freezers with 24/7 temperature monitoring (-80 °C).

Shipment of biomaterial

We can arrange a safe and controlled shipment of biological samples between collection centers, laboratories, and biobanks in cooperation with specialized shipment services.
