ISO 18385 Forensic DNA IVD Contamination Control Testing
The ISO 18385 standard is a cornerstone in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices, particularly those that involve forensic DNA analysis. This service ensures that your IVD device complies with stringent contamination control measures as outlined by this international standard.
Forensic DNA testing plays an essential role in criminal investigations, paternity tests, and other legal scenarios where the integrity of the DNA evidence is critical. Contamination can lead to false positives or negatives, which could have severe legal and ethical consequences. Our service ensures that your IVD device maintains its accuracy and reliability by adhering to ISO 18385 standards.
The testing process involves a series of stringent steps designed to minimize the risk of contamination at every stage of the DNA extraction, amplification, and detection processes. This includes thorough cleaning procedures, use of dedicated reagents and consumables, and controlled environmental conditions. Our team of experts ensures that your device undergoes rigorous validation against these stringent criteria.
By adhering to ISO 18385, our service helps you meet regulatory requirements set by the FDA, EU MDR, and other global standards. This not only enhances the credibility of your product but also protects your brand from potential recalls or legal actions due to contamination issues. Our comprehensive testing ensures that your IVD device is fit for purpose in forensic DNA applications.
The ISO 18385 standard focuses on several key areas, including:
- Contamination control measures during sample preparation
- Detection and quantification of contaminants
- Validation of the detection methods used
- Assessment of the robustness of the IVD device against contamination
Our service ensures that your IVD device meets these stringent requirements, providing you with peace of mind and regulatory compliance. The testing process is designed to be comprehensive, ensuring that no aspect of contamination control is overlooked.
The ISO 18385 standard also emphasizes the importance of a robust quality management system (QMS) in maintaining the integrity of forensic DNA IVD devices. Our service includes an assessment of your QMS to ensure it aligns with the requirements of this standard. This not only helps you maintain regulatory compliance but also enhances the reliability and consistency of your product.
In addition, our service provides detailed reporting that outlines all aspects of the contamination control testing process. This report is invaluable for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams, as it provides a clear understanding of the testing parameters, specimen preparation methods, instrumentation used, and acceptance criteria met.
