NMPA published the 27 registration review guidelines on September 15, 2022, which involve a wide range of indications, from chemistry, hematology to dental and urology, etc. It is to facilitate manufacturers with local type testing and make guidelines more consistent with the international counterparts.
Importance of Device Guideline
The guidelines are prepared by NMPA Center of Medical Device Evaluation (CMDE). It is not legally binding but highly recommended by regulatory authorities.
For both renewals and new registrations, medical devices need to meet these new guidelines. Even if renewals (required every 5 years by NMPA) have no changes, manufacturers still need to prove that the originally approved products can meet the new guidelines. As a result, approved products still need to go through local type testing to show that they are current with these new requirements.
