Rule 1

  • detection of the presence of, or exposure to, a transmissible agent in blood, blood components, cells, tissues or organs, or in any of their derivatives, in order to assess their suitability for transfusion, transplantation or cell administration;

  • detection of the presence of, or exposure to, a transmissible agent that causes a life-threatening disease with a high or suspected high risk of propagation;

  • determining the infectious load of a life-threatening disease where monitoring is critical in the process of patient management.

Rule 2

Is your device intended to be used for blood grouping, or to determine foeto-maternal blood group incompatibility, or for tissue typing to ensure the immunological compatibility of blood, ◄ blood components, cells, tissue or organs that are intended for transfusion or transplantation or cell administration?

  • ABO system [A (ABO1), B (ABO2), AB (ABO3)];

  • Rhesus system [RH1 (D), RHW1, RH2 (C), RH3 (E), RH4 (c), RH5 (e)];

  • Kell system [Kel1 (K)];

  1. ​for detecting the presence of, or exposure to, a sexually transmitted agent;

  2. for detecting the presence in cerebrospinal fluid or blood of an infectious agent without a high or suspected high risk of propagation;

  3. for detecting the presence of an infectious agent, if there is a significant risk that an erroneous result would cause death or severe disability to the individual, foetus or embryo being tested, or to the individual's offspring;

  4. for pre-natal screening of women in order to determine their immune status towards transmissible agents;

  5. for determining infective disease status or immune status, where there is a risk that an erroneous result would lead to a patient management decision resulting in a life-threatening situation for the patient or for the patient's offspring;

  6. to be used as companion diagnostics;

  7. to be used for disease staging, where there is a risk that an erroneous result would lead to a patient management decision resulting in a life-threatening situation for the patient or for the patient's offspring;

  8. to be used in screening, diagnosis, or staging of cancer;

  9. for human genetic testing;

  10. for monitoring of levels of medicinal products, substances or biological components, when there is a risk that an erroneous result will lead to a patient management decision resulting in a life-threatening situation for the patient or for the patient's offspring;

  11. for management of patients suffering from a life-threatening disease or condition;

  12. for screening for congenital disorders in the embryo or foetus;

  13. for screening for congenital disorders in new-born babies where failure to detect and treat such disorders could lead to life-threatening situations or severe disabilities.
