IVD is the abbreviation of in vitro diagnostic products in English.IVD as a branch of medical devices has specific definitions and regulatory oversight.IVD mainly includes instruments, reagents or systems used for in vitro diagnostics.
The main purposes of IVD:
1. Prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and mitigation of disease;
2. Diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, mitigation, healing, and compensation for injury or disability;
3. Study and regulation of anatomical or physiological processes;
4. Pregnancy control.

Applications of IVD:
1, protein diagnosis
IVD antibody diagnosis is the most commonly used protein diagnostic technology, is the use of antigen-antibody specific binding, while with luminescence or color changes to amplify the detection signal method.
Protein diagnostics is sensitive, fast, easy to operate, and does not require instrumentation, but research and development lags behind nucleic acid diagnostics, and the appropriate antibody must be prepared before it can be put into use, but IVD antibody diagnostics is now playing an important role in the United States.
2. Next-generation gene sequencing diagnostics
IVD gene sequencing diagnostic methods are more suitable for customized services, such as genetic testing of the fetus through amniocentesis to analyze whether the fetus is suffering from major diseases.
