Drugdu.com expert’s response: Exporting medical devices to the United States for customs clearance involves fulfilling a series of certifications and requirements, primarily encompassing the following aspects: Ⅰ. FDA Registration and Certification FDA Registration: Manufacturers or exporters need to register with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States to legally sell medical devices in the American market. This process is typically completed through FDA’s Electronic Registration System (FURLS). 510(k) Premarket Notification: For medical devices classified as “Class II” (Premarket Notification), a 510(k) submission is generally required. This application demonstrates that the device is technologically similar to a legally marketed device and meets FDA requirements. The review period typically takes 90 days. PMA Application: For high-risk medical devices classified as “Class III” (Premarket Approval), a PMA (Premarket Approval Application) may be necessary. This is a more rigorous application requiring substantial clinical data and evidence to prove the safety and ...
Recently, the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission of Guangdong Province issued the “Ten Measures of the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission to Support the High-quality Development of Innovative Drugs and Devices”, covering the entire process of product research and development-hospital use-payment expansion. The notice proposes to urge medical institutions to hold at least one working meeting of the medical device-related committee every quarter, and hold a meeting within one month after the publication of the “Guangzhou Innovative Drug and Device Product Catalog”, and promptly include innovative drugs and devices in the medical institution’s drug or device catalog as needed, so as to achieve “all-out allocation” and give priority to selection. Encourage qualified medical institutions to accelerate the application of innovative medical devices such as active surgical instruments, passive implantable devices, medical software, medical imaging, radiotherapy, surgical robots, etc., and orderly promote the iterative upgrade of medical institutions’ equipment and facilities. ...
Drugdu.com expert’s response: The reasons for requiring CE certification in domestic medical device tenders can be elaborated from multiple perspectives: Ⅰ. International Recognition and Market Access of CE Certification International Recognition: CE certification is a prerequisite for market access in Europe. Medical devices with CE certification must comply with European standards such as EN60601 and EN45545. This signifies that CE certification not only enjoys a high level of recognition in the European market but is also globally recognized as an important indicator of product quality and safety. Market Access: For medical device manufacturers aiming to enter the European market, CE certification is indispensable. Without the CE mark, it is illegal to sell or distribute medical devices within the European Economic Area. Therefore, requiring CE certification for domestic medical devices in tenders helps enhance their competitiveness in international markets. Ⅱ. Enhancing Product Quality and Safety Quality Improvement: To obtain CE certification, ...

Drugdu.com expert’s response: The MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program), also known as the “Medical Device Single Audit Program,” is an audit process recognized and joined by five medical device regulatory agencies from the United States FDA, Australia TGA, Brazil ANVISA, Canada HC, and Japan MHLW. This system certification brings numerous benefits and advantages to medical device manufacturers, primarily in the following aspects: I. Streamlining the Audit Process Reducing Redundant Audits: MDSAP employs a one-time audit process that encompasses the regulatory requirements of multiple countries. Manufacturers need to undergo a single audit to meet market access requirements across participating nations, eliminating the duplication of effort and time waste associated with multiple audits. Unifying Audit Standards: MDSAP certification ensures that a manufacturer’s quality management system and products align with the audit standards and requirements of the five participating countries and regions, facilitating consistency in quality and compliance and simplifying audit procedures ...
Drugdu.com expert’s response: Passive medical devices refer to those that do not rely on external energy sources (such as electricity or batteries) to perform their intended functions. These devices typically utilize physical principles like mechanics, optics, acoustics, and thermodynamics to achieve their functions, with their energy primarily derived from the human body itself or gravitational forces. I. Characteristics of Passive Medical Devices Energy Source: Passive medical devices do not depend on external power sources or other forms of energy. Instead, they operate directly using natural forces such as the human body or gravity. Function Realization: They achieve their intended medical functions through physical principles like mechanical force, pressure, optical properties, etc. Safety: Since they do not rely on external power, these devices generally do not generate electromagnetic interference or radiation during use, making them safer for the human body. II. Classification of Passive Medical Devices Passive medical devices can be ...
