  • IVR 0102 Devices intended to determine markers of the Rhesus system [RH1 (D), RHW1, RH2 (C), RH3 (E), RH4 (c), RH5 (e)]
  • IVR 0103 Devices intended to determine markers of the Kell system [Kel1 (K)]
  • IVR 0104 Devices intended to determine markers of the Kidd system [JK1 (Jka), JK2 (Jkb)]
  • IVR 0105 Devices intended to determine markers of the Duffy system [FY1 (Fya), FY2 (Fyb)]
  • IVR 0106 Other devices intended to be used for blood grouping

Devices intended to be used for markers of cancer and non-malignant tumours:

  • IVR 0301 Devices intended to be used in screening, diagnosis, staging or monitoring of cancer

Devices intended to be used to determine markers of infections/immune status:

  • IVR 0501 Devices intended to be used for pre-natal screening of women in order to determine their immune status towards transmissible agents
    • Code scope limited to: devices using molecular and immunoassay technologies. 
  • IVR 0502 Devices intended to be used to detect the presence of, or exposure to transmissible agents in blood, blood components, cells, tissues or organs, or in any of their derivatives, to assess their suitability for transfusion, transplantation or cell administration
    • Code scope limited to: Blood, Blood Components 
  • IVR 0503 Devices intended to be used to detect the presence of, or exposure to an infectious agent including sexually transmitted agents
  • IVR 0504 Devices intended to be used to determine the infectious load, to determine infective disease status or immune status and devices used for infectious disease staging
  • IVR 0505 Devices intended to be used to grow/isolate/identify and handle infectious agents
    • Code scope limited to exclude the growth and isolation of viruses
  • IVR 0506 Other devices intended to be used to determine markers of infections/immune status

Devices intended to be used for non-infectious pathologies, physiological markers, disorders/impairments (except human genetic testing), and therapeutic measures: 

  • IVR 0605 Devices intended to be used for monitoring of levels of medicinal products, substances or biological components
    • Code scope limited to: Medicinal Products, Biological Components

Also, the following limitations should be taken into account:
