What it is and why
Changes will be required when:
- reorganization of the legal entity or change of name and address;
- modification of the product characteristics (change in structure, composition of materials, principle of operation, technical characteristics, etc.);
- change of storage and transport conditions (requirements for packaging, marking, temperature etc.);
- change of production conditions (change of production sites, equipment, production technology);
- change of regulatory framework (entry into force of new or modification of existing regulatory documents regulating the production and circulation of medical products).
- Untimely submission of significant changes to registration documents may lead to the withdrawal of the registration certificate.
Simplified registration procedure
The manufacture and sale of medical products with invalid equipment is illegal. Fines can be imposed on the legal entity and officials, and disclosure of violations may have a negative impact on the reputation of the company.
- For minor changes that do not affect the safety and effectiveness of a medical device, a simplified registration procedure is applied. For example, reorganization of the legal entity or change of name, change of product labeling, packaging, adjustment of technical documentation without changing the characteristics of the product.
Full registration procedure
- In the case of significant changes requiring additional research and expertise, registration shall be carried out according to the full procedure.
