13. Step 3: Device Classification
Class I - Devices for which safety and effectiveness can be ensured
y
through routine administration (products such as rehabilitation
techniques, disinfecting devices and apparatus)
Class II - Devices for which further control is required to ensure their
safety and effectiveness
Class III – Hi h i k d i

High-risk devices such as th
h
those
implanted into the human body, or used for life
support or sustenance; or the ones that pose
potential risk to the human body (products such
as implanted artificial internal organs and infant
care devices)
The classification system
is i il t
i similar to EU and U.S.
dUS
in that there are 3 device
classes. However, a
Class II device in the US
or Class IIa/IIb device in
the EU may be classified
as Class III in China.

15. Step 4: In-country Representation
Appoint a "Legal Agent and After Sales Agent" to co-ordinate
pp
g
g
g
CFDA device registration.
• Agents must be legal residents of China or maintain local business
presences in China.
• Legal Agent interacts with the CFDA during the device registration
process and assists in obtaining registration renewal every four years
• After Sales Agent is responsible for reporting all incidents related to
the device to Chinese authorities following registration and
commercialization of th d i i Chi
i li ti
f the device in China.
15

17. Step 5: Registration Requirements
P
Prepare and submit an application t CFDA f an I
d b it
li ti to
for
Import M di l D i
t Medical Device
Registration Certificate (IMDRC).
Proof of registration in country of origin is required
required.
17
This i diff
Thi is different
t
compared to U.S and
EU, where device
approvals and
registration are strictly
g
y
based on the
evaluation carried out
by FDA or Notified
Bodies.
www.intertek.com
18. Step 5: Registration Requirements
Submit the device to CFDA for testing. Testing is carried out by the CFDA
g
g
y
Medical Device Quality Supervision and Inspection Center.
Clinical trials conducted in China could be required for devices that do
not have regulatory approval in another country, and for high-risk devices.
Except for new implant products and in-vitro reagents, foreign clinical
data
d t are mostly accepted and l
tl
t d d local i
l investigation could b exempted i
ti ti
ld be
t d in
most circumstances.
18
www.intertek.com
19. Step 5: Registration Requirements
China Compulsory Certification (
p
y
(CCC) is applicable to some medical
)
pp
devices with electrical components for safety conformity.
If the device requires CCC Mark Certification, it must be obtained through
testing the device in labs in China. An on-site audit of the legal
manufacturer is also required.
19
www.intertek.com
21. Step 6: Preparation & Submission
Prepare Chinese Registration Standard dossier, including testing results,
p
g
,
g
g
,
and submit to CFDA for approval.
Foreign manufacturers must submit quality system certificates – ISO
13485 or show compliance with U.S. FDA Quality System Regulations.
These are adequate to meet CFDA quality management system
requirements
21
www.intertek.com
22. Step 6: Preparation & Submission
CFDA reviews the application and issues IMDRC certificate, which is
pp
,
valid for 4 years.
Re-Registration is necessary in cases such as:
•
•
•
•
•
Manufacturer change
Manufacturing site change
Product name, model or components change
Indications for use change
Chinese registration standard (YZB) change
Timeline:
Entire process can generally take up to 12 months (class I device), 18
months (class II device) and about 36 months (class III device).

Medical devices in Brazil are regulated by the National Health
g
y
Surveillance Agency (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária,
ANVISA)
25
www.intertek.com
27. Step 2: Product Assessment
Per Annex I of Brazilian Resolution RDC 185/2001; a medical
;
device is defined as follows:
Product for use in health, such as equipment, apparatus, material,
article or system of use in health or implementing medical, dental
or laboratory, for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation or
contraception, and not using pharmacological, immune or
metabolic means to perform their main function to humans, may
however be assisted in his duties by such means.

•
•
•
•
Class I
Class II
Class III
Class IV
Class I and II i l d l
Cl
d include low and medium risk
d
di
i k
devices. Class III and IV include higherrisk devices
29
4 d i classes means the
device l
th
classification system is
slightly different from
U.S. FDA
However, Brazilian
Resolution RDC 185/01 is
designed similarly to the
European Medical Device
Directive (93/42/EEC)
(93/42/EEC).
Classes I, II, III and IV in
Brazil are similar to Classes
I, IIa, IIb and III in the
European Union
www.intertek.com
31. Step 4: In-Country Representation
Appoint a company that holds a Company
pp
p y
p y
Working Allowance permit from ANVISA as
the Brazil Registration Holder (BRH).
Similar to EU - Companies
without a location in Europe
must appoint an Authorized
Representative to act on their
behalf
In case of U.S., foreign
manufacturers must appoint
“US Agent” and the company
and device should be
registered. No certificate is
issued by FDA but the
company is subject to random
FDA inspections for QSR
compliance.
31
www.intertek.com
33. Step 5: Registration Requirements
It is mandatory to register all medical devices listed in RDC No.
y
g
185, except those products referred on items 2, 3 and 12 of Part
3 of this regulation.
Prepare Technical File that includes information on the device.
Obtain Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) or device
registration certificate proving home-country
approval
- OR –
The Registration
requirements are
similar to EU and U.S.
in that all devices have
to be registered.
Demonstrate evidence of registration in two other
markets and justify why the device does not have
home-country approval.
home country approval
33
www.intertek.com
34. Step 5: Registration Requirements
Certain devices require INMETRO Certification, including medical
q
,
g
devices sold in Brazil that fall under the scope of the following
standards:
• NBR IEC 60601 series
• NBR ISO 6875:1998: Dental patient chair
• NBR ISO 7785-2:2004: Dental handpieces – Part 2:
Straight and g
g
geared angle handpieces
g
p
• NBR ISO 9919:1997: Medical electrical equipment –
Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential
performance of pulse oximeter equipment for medical use
• NBR ISO 11195 2000 G mixers f medical use –
11195:2000: Gas i
for
di l
Stand-alone gas mixers
This process is quite
similar to EU and U.S.
FDA's test data
evaluation and policy
of accepting test
reports
• NBR ISO 8835-2:2010: Inhalational anaesthesia systems
– Part 2: Anaesthetic breathing systems
34
www.intertek.com
36. Step 6: Preparation & Submission
Submit the registration application and Technical File to ANVISA
g
pp
through BRH. ANVISA reviews registration application.
High-risk and innovative devices must meet
g
ANVISA clinical trial requirements. ANVISA
usually accepts clinical trial results previously
conducted in other markets as adequate to
meet such requirements.
36
Technical files required by
ANVISA resemble
documents required by the
U.S. FDA.
Applicants that have
already prepared Technical
Files for CE
Marking or U.S. FDA 510(k)
submissions may usually
reuse similar information to
prepare their Brazilian
Technical Files.
www.intertek.com
37. Step 6: Preparation & Submission
Once approved, ANVISA will p
pp
,
publish registration number in the Diário
g
Oficial da União (DOU).
Note: Both ANVISA device registrations and INMETRO certifications
must be renewed every five years

40. Step 1: Regulatory Background
Roszdravnadzor (Federal Service for Control of Healthcare and
(
Social Development in the Russian Federation) oversees all
domestic and imported medical devices in Russia.
40
www.intertek.com
42. Step 2: Product Assessment
Scope:
p
Medical products designed for medical application in the
territory of the Russian Federation which are designed for:
- preventive treatment, diagnostics (in vitro), sickness treatment,
after-care treatment, medical procedures, medical research,
replacement and modification of parts of human body tissues,
organs,
organs recovery or compensation of disrupted or lost
physiological functions, impregnation control;
- production of effect on human organism so that their designated
purpose is not implemented through chemical, pharmacological,
immunological or metabolic interaction with human organism, but
of which effect can be supported by such means.
42
www.intertek.com
44. Step 3: Device Classification
Confirm classification of your device using Roszdravnadzor Order No.
y
g
735 and Rosstandart 51609-2000.
Define the type of the medical device according to Decree No. 4n
Class I – low-risk
Class IIa – medium risk
Class IIb – increased risk
Class III – high-risk
Search for equivalent medical devices already
approved for sale in the Russian Federation.
44
This classification system
is equivalent to that of EU
and comparable to that of
U.S. FDA.
This is similar to the U.S.
FDA 510(k) or Premarket
Notification wherein
substantial equivalence is
to be claimed to previously
cleared device (predicate
device)
www.intertek.com
46. Step 4: In-Country Representation
Appoint an Authorized Regulatory representative to co-ordinate the
pp
g
y p
registration process in Russia
Only needed for devices classified as Class IIa IIb and III.
For Class I devices, skip to Step 5.
Similar to EU - Companies without a
location in Europe must appoint an
Authorized Representative to act on
their behalf
Difference (w.r.t U.S.) - If located
outside the U.S., an “US Agent” must
be appointed and the company and
device should be registered. No
certificate is issued by FDA but
company is subject to random FDA
inspections for QSR compliance.
46
www.intertek.com
48. Step 5: Registration Requirements
Meet with officials to determine the testing
g
requirements for the device
Submit a application for permission to import testing
samples
Conduct testing at government authorized testing and
medical centers within R
di l
t
ithi Russia
i
Receive results of testing and medical reports
Apply for Regulatory Approval
48
This process is quite
p
q
different compared to
U.S. regulatory
processes, where most
Class I devices are
exempt from PreMarket
Notifications, most
Class II and some Class
III devices are subject
to FDA 510(k); and most
Class III devices are
subject to PMA
Russia's process is
also different from EU;
where a Technical File
is typically needed for
all device classes.
www.intertek.com
49. Step 5: Registration Requirements
Testing must be p
g
performed by local expertise
y
p
centers and hospitals and the results must be
included in the registration dossier.
All applicable quality, safety and efficacy testing
should be performed at Authorized Expertise
Centers and Hospitals in Russia.
49
The testing requirements
g q
differ from EU and U.S.,
where testing to harmonized
standards is generally
accepted. So, the biggest
hurdle for foreign
manufacturers seeking
device registration /
approval in Russia is that it
relies on a system of
product testing as a tool for
determining safety and
efficacy. Such testing is
also required for products
that already possess CE
marking, U.S. Food and
Drug Administration 510(k)
clearance or other national
approval.
www.intertek.com
51. Step 6: Preparation & Submission
Prepare a Registration Dossier that includes all technical details
p
g
about your device, including testing results.
Proof of home country approval must also be obtained using a CFS
(Certificate of Free Sale) or CFG (Certificate to Foreign
Government).
Submit dossier and CFS or CFG to
Roszdravnadzor.
**All technical doc ments m st be s bmitted in
documents must
submitted
Russian.
51
The requirement to have
testing requirements
conducted in Russia is
stringent compared to U.S.
FDA and EU Regulatory
approval process
www.intertek.com
52. Step 6: Preparation & Submission
If the dossier is approved, Roszdravnadzor issues a Registration
pp
,
g
Certificate.
To clear medical devices through Russian Customs, products must have
one or both of the following certificates (which can only be issued after
the Registration Certificate has been obtained):
• S it
Sanitary-Epidemiological C
E id i l i l Conclusion (H i
l i (Hygiene C tifi t )
Certificate)
• GOST-R Quality Certificate
