The processing time for Class II medical device MDACS registration in Hong Kong can vary based on several factors, such as the completeness of the application, the complexity of the device, and the current workload of the Medical Device Control Office (MDCO).

Typical Processing Time

• 6 to 9 months: This is the typical processing time for Class II medical devices under the MDACS registration system.

Factors Affecting Processing Time:

1. Completeness of the Application:

   • If your application is missing any required documents or if there are discrepancies in the provided information, this can lead to delays.

   • Ensuring all required documents (e.g., ISO certifications, risk management reports, clinical evidence, labeling, etc.) are complete and accurate will help streamline the process.

2. Additional Information Requests:

   • If the MDCO requires more information or clarification during the review process, it can extend the timeline.

3. Workload of MDCO:

   • The MDCO's current workload or backlog can also affect how quickly they process your application.

4. Device Complexity:

   • More complex devices or those requiring extensive clinical data might take longer to process.

Tips to Minimize Processing Time:

• Submit a complete and well-documented application.

• Ensure all certifications and evidence of conformity (such as CE, FDA approval) are included and valid.

• Appoint a Local Responsible Person (LRP) in Hong Kong if the manufacturer is overseas, as this can facilitate communication and ensure smoother processing.
