Testing is an integral part of the medical device registration process. It confirms the compliance of the device with established standards and requirements, enabling the issuance of a registration certificate.
Types of testing for the state registration of medical devices
Assessment of the device's compliance with the technical requirements declared by the manufacturer.
Technical testing
Assessment of the device's biological compatibility with human tissues and organs (skin, mucous membranes, internal organs).
Toxicological studies
Study of the safety and efficacy of the device when used on humans.
Clinical trials
Determination of the metrological characteristics of medical devices, including the accuracy of indicators in units approved for use in the Russian Federation. Testing applies to medical devices classified as measuring instruments.
Testing for type approval of measuring equipment
Regulatory and legislative documents for the procedure
The procedure for conducting technical testing, toxicological studies, and clinical trials for the state registration of medical devices is approved by Order No. 885n of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated August 30, 2021.
The procedure for conducting testing and the list of medical devices classified as measuring instruments are approved by Order No. 89n of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated August 15, 2012.
Procedure timelines
The timelines for conducting testing depend on the type of device, risk class, and complexity of the studies. During the testing process, the need for additional research or documentation adjustments may arise, which could extend the timelines. To expedite the registration process, some types of testing may be conducted in parallel.
