Medical Devices & Equipment
Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA), Ministry of Health and Welfare
Taiwan's medical device market is valued at over USD 3 billion and is driven by a universal National Health Insurance system that creates consistent demand for innovative diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutic equipment. The TFDA classifies devices into four risk classes and requires a Medical Device License (MDL) prior to commercialization, with requirements aligned closely to international IMDRF standards. Taevas provides end-to-end registration support, local technical file preparation, and post-market surveillance management to ensure compliant and efficient market access.
Regulatory Pathways
Medical Device Classification
TFDA assigns devices to Class I through Class IV based on risk level, determining the registration pathway, review timeline, and technical documentation requirements. Correct classification at the outset prevents costly re-submissions and delays.
Medical Device License Application
All Class II, III, and IV devices require a full MDL application submitted to TFDA, including technical files, clinical data, and quality system certificates. Class I devices may qualify for a simplified notification procedure depending on intended use.
Import and Customs Clearance
Medical devices imported into Taiwan require a licensed local importer or agent, valid MDL documentation, and compliance with customs declaration requirements under the Medical Devices Act. Taevas coordinates all import logistics to ensure seamless border clearance.
Post-Market Surveillance
License holders must maintain adverse event reporting, periodic safety update reports, and field safety corrective actions in accordance with TFDA post-market requirements. Taevas manages ongoing vigilance obligations to keep your MDL in good standing.
