The full name of "IVD" is "in vitro diagnostic products", which translates to in vitro diagnostic products in Chinese.
IVD refers to medical devices, in vitro diagnostic reagents, and pharmaceuticals, and as a branch of medical devices, IVD has a unique definition and regulatory oversight. Internationally, IVD as an independent branch of medical devices, has its own unique definition and regulatory system, especially the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union (EC).
IVD mainly includes instruments, reagents or systems used for in vitro diagnosis. However, the situation is different in China, where IVD is not independently distinguished and defined, i.e., there is no concept of IVD. Instead, the products included in the usual international concept of IVD are broken up, belonging to Medical Devices (MD), In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents (IVD Reagents), and Pharmaceuticals, respectively.

1. Physical Examination
Modern people are paying more and more attention to their own health, and it has become a habit for many of them to have a physical examination every year. In-vitro diagnosis can achieve prevention and early detection of diseases by analyzing and testing blood, urine, feces and secretions.
2. Chronic Disease Management
Worldwide, the incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and chronic gastric disease is increasing year by year. There is also a high incidence of hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis and other diseases. These chronic diseases require regular monitoring of changes in blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipids, Helicobacter pylori, and bone calcium. The use of in vitro diagnostic equipment, especially a variety of wearable devices, can be realized at any time and anywhere to monitor blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate and so on.
