Medical Devices & Equipment
Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos (INVIMA)
Colombia's medical device sector is expanding rapidly, fuelled by a growing middle class and a government commitment to universal health coverage under the Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud. INVIMA classifies devices into four risk classes (I through IV) and requires a Registro Sanitario before any product may be imported or sold. Taevas manages the full registration lifecycle, from technical dossier preparation to post-market surveillance, giving international manufacturers a compliant and commercially ready pathway into Colombia.
Regulatory Pathways
Registro Sanitario Application
Taevas prepares and submits the complete technical dossier to INVIMA under Decree 4725 of 2005, covering classification, labelling, and safety evidence. Timeline typically ranges from 3 to 12 months depending on device risk class.
Risk Classification Review
Devices are classified Class I to IV based on intended use and patient risk. Taevas conducts a pre-submission classification analysis to select the correct pathway and avoid costly reclassification delays.
Import Licence and Customs Clearance
All regulated medical devices require an import licence issued by INVIMA prior to entry. Taevas coordinates with licensed importers, customs brokers, and freight forwarders to ensure seamless border clearance.
Post-Market Surveillance and Renewal
INVIMA requires ongoing pharmacovigilance reporting and periodic Registro Sanitario renewal every ten years. Taevas manages adverse event reporting, field safety corrective actions, and renewal submissions.
