FAQ

01
Can Tacit Medtek help with regulatory filings and communication with CDSCO?

Of course. To make your compliance journey easier, Tacit Medtek provides end-to-end assistance with documentation, regulatory submissions, and communication with CDSCO and other regulatory bodies.

02
Is a license required to import or manufacture medical devices in India?

Yes. The Medical Devices Rules of 2017 mandate that, depending on the device's risk class, all medical devices must have a license before being manufactured or imported.

03
Does obtaining an ISO 13485 certification require obtaining a manufacturing license?

No, ISO 13485:2016 is not required to obtain a manufacturing license under MDR-2017; nonetheless, it is highly advised because it complies with regulatory requirements.

04
Can I sell a non-sterile medical device without expiry/shelf life on the label?

Yes, it is not required to indicate a device's expiration date or shelf life if it is given in a non-sterile state.

05
What is the process for CE marking for exports to Europe?

Technical paperwork, clinical evaluation, conformance assessment, and adherence to EU MDR/IVDR are all part of CE marking. Startups can get help from Tacit Medtek during the whole CE certification procedure.

06
When is biocompatibility testing required?

It is necessary for devices that interact with the human body directly or indirectly. ISO 10993 requirements must be followed when conducting tests, and they must be revalidated if materials or procedures change.

07
Can previous biocompatibility data be reused for similar devices?

Yes, if the materials, processes, and suppliers are unchanged, and supported with justification and a biological risk assessment.

08
Does importing into India require me to designate an Authorized Representative?

Yes. If you are a foreign manufacturer, you are required to designate an Indian Authorized Agent to manage communication and regulatory submissions.

09
Is it possible to include more than one manufacturing location in a single import application?

No, a separate application, supporting documentation, and costs are needed for each actual manufacturing site.

10
What happens if, after receiving a license, my company's structure changes?

If your company's constitution changes, you must notify the licensing authority and reapply for a license within the allotted time (usually 180 days).

11
What is the difference between a sterile and non-sterile medical device?

A medical device that has undergone processing to eradicate all microbiological life and is packaged to remain sterile until it is opened or damaged is considered sterile. The device's sterility must be explicitly stated on the label, along with the sterilizing technique that was employed.

However, a non-sterile medical device is one that is provided without being sterilized. The label of the devices must explicitly say that it is "non-sterile" and provide instructions for correctly sterilizing it before use if that is the plan.

12
Does selling Class A non-sterile and non-measuring medical devices in India require a wholesale license?

No, Chapter XI of MDR-2017 exempts Class A non-sterile and non-measuring medical devices from wholesale licensing.

13
What specifications must be met by non-sterile equipment that are meant to be sterilized prior to use in terms of packaging and labeling?

In addition to clearly stating that the equipment is non-sterile, the package must reduce microbiological contamination and contain instructions for sterilizing appropriate for the planned approach prior to patient use.

14
In case of Change of constitution of the company/firm holding the manufacturing license under the MDR-2017, whether fresh license is required?

Yes. Any changes must be reported to the licensing authority within 45 days, and the licensee has 180 days from the date of the constitution change to submit an application under MDR-2017. In these cases, unless a new license is granted or the application is rejected by the licensing authority, the current license will be considered valid.

15
In case of Change of constitution of the company/firm holding the import license under the MDR-2017, whether fresh license is required?

Yes. Within 45 days of the constitution change, the licensee has 180 days to file an application under MDR-2017, and any modifications must be communicated to the licensing authority. In these situations, the existing license will be deemed valid unless a new license is issued or the licensing body rejects the application.

16
In case of Import of medical devices, whether Brand name of a medical device owned by an Indian authorized agent can be mentioned on the application for import in Form MD-14?

In order to indicate that a medical device is sold freely in the countries of Australia, Canada, Japan, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United States of America, the Free Sale Certificate (FSC) granted to the legal manufacturer must include brand names (registered under the Trade Marks Act, 1999) for the device in Form MD-14. If the brand name is not listed in the FSC, it should be listed on Form MD-14 as "Not Applicable."
