For specific high-risk IVDs including HIV, HBV, HCV, and Syphilis, the TFDA often requires local batch release or independent analytical validation. During the initial registration, a test report from a TFDA-recognized Thai lab (like DMS) is usually mandatory. For renewals, according to the 2025 update, HIV test kits must always include a fresh Analytical Test Report. For other Class 4 kits, while you can often use existing data, the TFDA reserves the right to request a new local test report if there have been significant updates to international standards or if the device performance history shows any drift.

For our Class 4 IVD test kits (e.g., Hepatitis B and Syphilis), is it mandatory to conduct in-country analytical performance testing at a Thai laboratory (such as the Department of Medical Sciences - DMS) as part of the Licensing process? If so, can we use the test report generated during the initial registration to satisfy the "Analytical Test Report" requirement for the periodic renewal of these high-risk kits?
