Registration Requirements in Key Markets
Understanding the registration requirements for medical devices in key global markets is critical for market access. Here are some of the major markets and their regulations:
MDR/CDSCO (India)
- Under India’s MDR devices are classified based on risk level, and conformity assessment by recognized bodies is mandatory for registration.
- The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) oversees the registration process and ensures compliance with the MDR.
- Obtaining CDSCO registration is essential for devices to be legally marketed and distributed in India’s thriving healthcare market.
- Being a pioneer in the India market, Taevas offers post-regulatory as well as distribution and marketing services amongst many other services for medical devices and IVD’s in India.
FDA 510(k) (United States)
- The FDA 510(k) clearance is mandatory for medical devices sold in the US.
- This involves a premarket submission to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device along with registration and listing with the FDA.
- Annual establishment registration fees apply.
- Taevas can assist you in preparing your 510(k) submission and navigating the regulatory requirements for market entry as well as distribution and marketing in the US.
MDR/IVDR (Europe)
- The new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) in Europe require registration of devices in the EUDAMED database.
