IVDR is the new regulatory standard set by the European Union, replacing the previous In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Directive (IVDD). The new regulation sets a new bar for product performance and clinical validation, as well as post marketing surveillance. Galen Prostate received its IVDR CE certificate following a rigorous review demonstrating the quality of the product and its meticulous development process, safety, and performance. During 2023, Ibex plans to migrate additional products, including its Galen Breast and Galen Gastric solutions, under the IVDR certificate.

“Ibex continues to maintain the highest possible standards for its products, bringing cutting-edge computational solutions to improve outcomes of cancer care,” said Dr. Yael Liebes-Peer, Head of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance at Ibex Medical Analytics. “Dedicated to our mission of providing every patient with an accurate, timely and personalized cancer diagnosis, we are proud to provide the market’s first IVDR-certified product, elevating the quality of diagnosis for patients, pathologists and laboratories.”
