If the test result obtained using the specified medical devices for in vitro diagnostics (in vitro) does not have a critical medical status or is preliminary and requires subsequent comparison with the corresponding laboratory tests, such medical devices belong to class 2a.
44. Medical devices for in vitro diagnostics (in vitro), which do not have a measuring function, by their objective properties are used as general laboratory ones, while they have special characteristics, in accordance with which they are intended by the manufacturer for use in in vitro diagnostic procedures (in vitro) (without specifying specific types of laboratory tests (analytes)), and also containers for bioassay samples belong to class 1.
45. Medical devices for in vitro diagnostics (in vitro), to which clauses 38 - 42 of these Rules do not apply, including analytical instruments (analyzers) with a measuring function with an unfixed list of laboratory tests performed, which depends on the used reagent kits (test systems), belong to class 2a. The interdependence of the device and the reagents used does not allow the device to be evaluated separately, but this does not affect its assignment to class 2a.
