Lumea's IMS Viewer+™ Achieves CE Marking Under IVDR, Expanding Clinical Use Across Europe

Lumea's browser-based diagnostic hub now CE marked for clinical use in Europe under new regulations.

Published on Feb. 24, 2026

Lumea's Viewer+™ software has received CE marking under the new In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) in Europe, allowing the browser-based diagnostic hub to be used clinically across the continent. This milestone ensures European laboratories can adopt Lumea's technology to meet the more stringent regulatory requirements while benefiting from the platform's efficiency, quality, and workflow improvements.

Why it matters

The transition from the previous In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive (IVDD) to the new IVDR has created compliance challenges for many European labs, as legacy software often doesn't meet the updated standards. Lumea's IVDR-cleared Viewer+ provides a solution that enables uninterrupted diagnostic services while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

The details

Lumea's Viewer+™ software offers a robust suite of tools tailored to the modern pathologist's needs, including high-quality whole slide imaging, comprehensive case management, integrated diagnostic tools, and instant second opinion capabilities. The platform is designed to boost efficiency, with pathologists able to sign out cases up to 50% faster while keeping the entire slide image in view.

  • Lumea's Viewer+™ software received CE marking under IVDR on February 18, 2026.
  • The new In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) went into effect in the EU in May 2022, replacing the previous IVDD.
