Manufacturers interested in registering a medical device in China can now submit electronic documents online through the new eRPS system.
Hong Kong’s Expedited Approval Scheme has been upgraded from a trial. Approvals from at least 2 GHTF countries plus China.
This adjustment will not only make the registration process cheaper and quicker for many manufacturers, it will also improve the efficiency of China’s labs to perform testing for domestic manufacturers and other devices that will still need in-country testing. While the regulatory burden for what the NMPA will consider as acceptable self-test reports is still high, this change provides manufacturers with more options.
China’s NMPA created a registration route specifically for innovative medical devices called the Innovative Green Pathway in 2014 and is based on the CFDA Order No. 13 2014. Since this registration route tends to cause some confusion, specific clarifying details are provided.
Chinese officials are taking steps to reduce fraudulent exports. Only products with NMPA registration can be exported to ensure standards and quality during COVID-19 crisis.
Medical device manufacturers that are serious about growing sales in Hong Kong/Southeast Asia should consider registration a mandatory step.
The Chinese national government has established a special economic zone on Hainan Island with a focus on medical devices and wellness. Medical device manufacturers seeking sales growth in China should be aware of the Boao Hope City development particularly those with new and innovative devices.
The NMPA has continued to stay busy this year, releasing numerous guidance documents and updates to their regulatory requirements. Here are some of the most important updates from the last few months.
The NMPA has been highly active in 2020 updating many of their regulations, standards and processes.
