A Trusted Guide for Shifting Regulation
Currently, the effects of the European MDR (Medical Devices Regulation) are being felt worldwide. No one understands more than us the importance of following the most recent developments and changes in medical device regulation around the globe.
At Asia Actual, we employ experienced, bilingual regulatory and commercial professionals located in countries across South Asia. This keeps us uniquely in-tune with regulatory trends worldwide and fully equipped to offer responsive outsourcing solutions. With leading professionals who have decades of experience, your company will be in safe hands throughout the entire registration process.
Asia Actual can provide a variety of support: from regulatory experts to high-level review to project management.
Understanding Re-Registrations
Many manufacturers are now facing an increase in regulatory requirements, whether from MDR updates or new registration requirements in India, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Asia Actual’s experienced staff can help step in and provide seamless additional regulatory support on your behalf or to your local staff.
Thailand Reregistration Requirements
Thailand is a recent example of how critical it is to keep up with regulatory trends, as their shifting regulations have increased the steps necessary for a manufacturer to get their medical device registered. Previously, only two regulatory documents were required and several products could be registered together under one license.
Now, under the latest rules, all technical documents (CSDT) must be submitted for each product family, making a lengthier, more complicated process.
India Reregistration Requirements
India is another example of country’s registration rules being updated more quickly than manufacturers can keep up with. All non-notified Class A and B medical devices had to be registered by October 1st, 2022 or face market interruption—a grace period has been announced.
Now, there is a new deadline for previously non-notified Class C and D devices to be registered by October 1st, 2023. Keeping up to date with current regulatory updates can be difficult—but not with the regulatory professionals at Asia Actual on your side.
Philippines Reregistration Requirements
The Philippines is currently transitioning to requiring Certificates of Medical Device Registration (CMDR) for all products. At the moment, many products currently only require Certificates of Medical Device Notification (CMDN) but, as part of this transition, will need to soon register for a CMDR once their initial CMDN expires after 1 to 2 years.
Given the documentation requirements for CMDRs are significantly different from (and more extensive than) CMDNs, many manufactures will find themselves with a significant influx of short term regulatory needs. Asia Actual’s experienced consultants can step in and help successfully make the transition without any market interruption.
