This semi-automated device needed a product update after a long and successful time on the market. One reason for the update was the new In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulations (IVDR). Another reason was that certain hardware components were no longer manufactured. PTA revised the requirements for the device and conducted a new risk assessment.
Supplement
Between the initial launch of the product and the time of the product update, the customer revised and adjusted their quality management system three times. The requirements could be divided into different areas. For example, the requirements for measurement technology remained largely unchanged, but the connectivity requirements changed from a serial interface to USB-C.
