Medical Devices & Equipment
Drug Administration of Vietnam (DAV) and the Department of Medical Equipment and Construction (CQTBYT) under the Ministry of Health Vietnam
Vietnam's medical device market is valued at over USD 1.1 billion and growing at approximately 15% annually, fuelled by hospital infrastructure investment and rising chronic disease prevalence. All medical devices must be registered with the Drug Administration of Vietnam under Decree 98/2021/ND-CP and its amendments, with classification ranging from Class A (lowest risk) to Class D (highest risk). Taevas manages the full registration lifecycle, from technical dossier preparation to post-market surveillance, ensuring your devices are compliant and commercially ready across Vietnam's 63 provinces.
Regulatory Pathways
Device Classification & Dossier Preparation
Taevas classifies your device under Vietnam's Class A-D framework per Decree 98/2021/ND-CP and prepares a complete technical dossier aligned with DAV requirements, including conformity declarations and clinical evidence summaries.
DAV Registration & Circulation Number
We submit your registration application to the Drug Administration of Vietnam and manage all correspondence until a valid circulation number (so dang ky) is issued, which is mandatory before any commercial sale or import.
Import Licence & Customs Clearance
Securing an import licence from the Ministry of Health is a prerequisite for bringing devices into Vietnam; Taevas coordinates with licensed importers and customs brokers to ensure seamless clearance at port.
Post-Market Surveillance & Renewal
Vietnam requires ongoing adverse event reporting and periodic renewal of circulation numbers; Taevas maintains your compliance calendar and submits renewal dossiers before expiry to avoid market disruption.
