Medical Devices & Equipment
Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO)
India's medical devices market is projected to reach $50 billion by 2030, driven by rising chronic disease burden and expanding hospital infrastructure. Under the Medical Devices Rules 2017, all devices must be classified and registered with CDSCO before import or sale. Taevas navigates Class A through D classifications, import licences, and post-market surveillance requirements on behalf of foreign manufacturers.
Regulatory Pathways
Device Classification & Registration
All medical devices sold in India must be classified under Class A, B, C, or D and registered with CDSCO. Taevas prepares and submits the complete technical dossier including performance data, safety evidence, and labelling.
Import Licence (Form MD-14/15)
Foreign manufacturers require an import licence issued by CDSCO before goods can clear Indian customs. Taevas acts as the authorised India agent and manages the Form MD-14 or MD-15 application end to end.
Authorised Indian Representative (AIR)
CDSCO mandates that every overseas manufacturer appoint an Authorised Indian Representative to liaise with the regulator. Taevas serves as AIR, providing a registered local address and ongoing regulatory correspondence.
Post-Market Surveillance & Vigilance
Registered devices are subject to ongoing adverse event reporting and periodic safety updates under MDR 2017. Taevas maintains vigilance systems and submits required reports to CDSCO on your behalf.
