Submit an application for registration.
Submit the prepared registration dossiers to your local medical device regulatory authority. Submissions may be made online or in person, and please consult with your local regulator for specific requirements.
Get reviewed. The regulatory authorities will conduct technical review and on-site verification of the submitted registration materials to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the products. In doing so, it may be necessary to make additional information or amendments in response to regulatory requirements.
Obtain a registration certificate.
If the registration application is approved, the regulatory authority will issue a medical device registration certificate, allowing the product to be marketed. The validity period of the registration certificate may vary depending on the product type and region, please pay attention to local regulatory requirements.
Ongoing compliance maintenance.
After obtaining the registration certificate, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in medical device regulations to ensure that the product continues to comply with the relevant standards and regulations.
