Quality management systems and licensing requirements for medical devices
The consultants at Andaman Medical will help you to implement customized processes to comply with the quality management system and licensing requirements in the ASEAN region.
Implemented in Singapore and Malaysia to date (yet to come for other member states), it is a requirement for ASEAN Importers, Distributors and Local Representatives to comply with Good Distribution Practices for Medical Devices. Andaman can support medical device companies with quality management systems and licensing requirements.
GDPMD specifies the requirements for a quality management system to be established, implemented and maintained by companies to comply with local regulatory requirements as stipulated in the Medical Devices Regulations. GDPMD requires an establishment to demonstrate its ability to maintain the quality, safety and performance of medical devices in compliance with the ASEAN medical device regulatory requirements throughout the supply-chain.
Our consultants will help you to implement adequate and customized processes to comply with the GDPMD requirements.
How to Launch a Medical Device in an ASEAN Market?
ASEAN regulations require that an establishment apply for a license before it can import, export or launch a registered medical device in the market. The application for an establishment license is made according to the requirements each ASEAN member state.
For example, in Malaysia, starting from 1 July 2013 when Act 737 came into effect, all establishments dealing with medical devices are required to apply for an Establishment License. Any company that has imported, exported or launched a medical device in the market prior to the effective date of the Act and intends to continue those activities are also required to apply for an Establishment License. It is usually only when an Establishment License is granted that a product can be registered.
