The processing time for Class II medical device MDACS registration in Hong Kong typically takes around 4 to 6 months. However, this timeline can vary depending on factors such as:

1. Completeness of Application: If the application is complete and all required documents are submitted in the correct format, the review process will be quicker. Incomplete or incorrect submissions may lead to delays as the Medical Device Control Office (MDCO) requests additional information.

2. Complexity of the Device: More complex devices or those requiring additional documentation for clinical trials or performance data may require more time for review.

3. Review Cycle: The MDCO may request clarifications or additional documents during the review process, which could extend the overall timeline.

4. Backlog of Applications: If there is a high volume of applications being processed by the MDCO at a given time, this could affect processing times.

General Steps in the Review Process:

• Initial Review: The MDCO will check the completeness of the application. This step typically takes a few weeks.

• Evaluation: The MDCO will assess the technical data, risk management documents, and compliance with standards. This is the most time-consuming part of the process, taking several months.

• Approval or Feedback: If everything is in order, the MDCO will approve the registration and issue a certificate. If any issues arise, you will be asked to provide additional information.

Key Tip:

To avoid delays, ensure that your application is thorough, including all the necessary technical documents, clinical evidence, and regulatory compliance information. Consider working closely with a local authorized representative (AR) to ensure that all requirements are met promptly.
