After obtaining Class B medical device registration under the Hong Kong MDACS, there are several important points and ongoing obligations you should be aware of to maintain compliance and ensure smooth market access:


Key Points to Note After Obtaining Class B MDACS Registration

1. Maintain Accurate Device Listing

  • Keep your device listing information up to date with the Medical Device Division (MDD).

  • Notify MDD promptly of any changes to the device, manufacturer, or Local Responsible Person (LRP).

2. Compliance with Post-Market Surveillance (PMS)

  • Implement a post-market surveillance system to monitor device performance and safety in the Hong Kong market.

  • Report any adverse incidents or complaints related to the device to MDD within specified timelines.

3. Renewal and Annual Reporting

  • Although MDACS registration itself does not require annual renewal, you must ensure the registration remains valid by complying with any updates or notices from MDD.

  • Some devices may require periodic renewal or confirmation of continued compliance—confirm with MDD if applicable.

4. Labeling and Packaging Compliance

  • Continue to ensure that all labeling, packaging, and instructions for use meet MDACS requirements and local language guidelines.

5. Audit and Inspection Readiness

  • Be prepared for possible inspections or audits by Hong Kong authorities to verify compliance with MDACS and QMS requirements.

  • Maintain comprehensive and organized documentation.

6. Marketing and Advertising Compliance

  • Ensure all marketing materials and claims about the device comply with local laws and do not mislead consumers.

7. Local Responsible Person (LRP) Duties

  • The LRP must remain vigilant and act as the official contact point for any regulatory communication, recalls, or safety actions.
