Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
According to the World Health Organization, medical devices are:
“Any instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, appliance, implant, reagent for in vitro use, software, material or other similar or related article, intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination for a medical purpose.”
Each country has its own definition of medical device but they all tend to align with the definition above.
For those who specialize in American and/or European markets, going through the regulatory processes in Asia can be daunting as they are quite different from most Western systems. However, regulatory burden is usually reduced by registration in markets like the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia. Additionally, our consultants can use other pre-market approval documents, like a 510K, and apply the information to an Asia market submission like CSDT. We are here to uncomplicate and demystify regulatory compliance in Asia.
Medical device classification is part of a regulatory process that is based on the device’s potential risks to patients and users. Classification takes into consideration the device’s intended use, indications, and complexity. Regulatory burden for lower-risk devices is likely lower than higher-risk devices, which face more rigorous evaluation, including clinical testing.
Post-market surveillance expectations vary depending on market but are most commonly: adverse event (AE) reporting and taking corrective action in accordance with the relevant regulatory body’s reporting timeline.
Of course! Medical device regulations are subject to change and as the medical device industry becomes more tech-forward, regulatory authorities are forced to respond to these industry changes by updating procedures.
