The European Commission may launch a second call for EU reference laboratories (EURLs) for high-risk in vitro diagnostic medical devices to cover the four categories of Class D devices for which reference laboratories have not been designated yet.
The four categories of Class D devices are:
- Arboviruses
- Haemorrhagic fever and other biosafety level 4 viruses
- Parasites
- Blood grouping
Laboratories established in Malta wishing to express their interest to be designated as EURLs for the aforementioned categories are kindly invited to contact the Malta Medicines Authority on devices.medicinesauthority@gov.mt by 30 April 2024.
