Standards, track record and domain depth.
Three things define quality for an IVD partner: the standards the work is built on, the projects already delivered, and the depth in a defined clinical area. FirsTeckBio commits to publishing all three rather than claiming generic ISO compliance.
Standards we work to
Every regulatory and CRO engagement is structured around explicit, public standards — not internal opinion.
- IVDR 2017/746: EU In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation — the legal frame for every project we run inside the EU.
- ISO 20916:2019: Clinical performance studies for IVD devices — design, conduct and reporting.
- ISO 13485 · ISO 14971 · IEC 62366: QMS, risk management and usability engineering anchors for technical documentation.
- Common Specifications 2022/1107: Mandatory Common Specifications for Class D devices (HIV, HBV, HCV and other listed analytes).
- CLSI guidelines: EP05 (precision), EP09 (method comparison), EP17 (limits of detection), EP35 (matrix equivalence) — applied across analytical performance studies.
Track record
Numbers from our IVDR project history. See Areas of Expertise for the anonymised project portfolio behind these figures.
- 20+: IVDR-related projects delivered or active across consulting, performance evaluation and study execution.
- 100+: Diagnostic markers across performance studies and technical documentation.
- 50+: Italian and EU clinical departments collaborated with on performance studies.
- 70+: IVD companies engaged across regulatory consulting and CRO work.
Domain depth
We commit to areas where we have repeat experience, rather than claiming all-IVD coverage.
- Class D bloodborne pathogens: HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis — performance studies, validation against EU reference panels, technical documentation under Common Specifications 2022/1107.
- Respiratory infectious disease: Influenza, RSV, SARS-CoV-2 and multi-pathogen panels.
- Women's health & male reproductive: HPV, hormonal markers, sperm DNA fragmentation.
- Cardiac & inflammation markers: Troponin, BNP/NT-proBNP, CRP, PCT, D-dimer.
- POCT & self-tests: Lay-user and near-patient devices with IEC 62366 usability requirements.
Ethics & data protection
Integrity and data-handling standards applied across distribution and regulatory engagements.
- Business ethics: Integrity and transparency in every commercial and regulatory relationship.
- Anti-corruption: Zero tolerance for bribery and corruption in tender and procurement engagements.
- Data protection (GDPR): EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) for personal data; IVDR rules for clinical-study and patient data.
