Multiple-therapy therapeutic drug monitoring IVD, control

Multiple-therapy therapeutic drug monitoring IVDs (in vitro diagnostics) are designed to help clinicians accurately measure drug concentrations in patient samples, ensuring safe and effective treatment for conditions like infections, seizures, or heart disorders. These devices support precise dosing adjustments by validating assay performance for multiple drug classes—such as antibiotics, anticonvulsants, or cardiovascular medications—within a single testing workflow.

These controls are typically regulated as IVDs, often requiring compliance with standards like ISO 13485 or FDA 21 CFR Part 820, depending on the jurisdiction. They are supplied as part of assay kits or standalone calibration tools, ensuring laboratories maintain accuracy in therapeutic drug monitoring without direct patient interaction. Classification varies by region, but they are generally treated as high-risk devices due to their role in critical treatment decisions.
