    • The LRP handles communication, submission, and post-registration responsibilities.

      • Product description and intended use

      • Safety and performance data

      • Risk management files

      • Quality management system certificate (ISO 13485)

      • Labelling and instructions for use

    • Ensure documents comply with Hong Kong’s regulatory standards and language requirements.

  4. Complete and Submit the Application

    • Fill out the official application form from the Hong Kong Department of Health.

    • Submit the application and supporting documents to the Medical Device Division, either by mail or in person.

    • Pay the applicable registration fee.

  5. Follow Up During Review

    • Respond promptly to any requests for additional information or clarifications from MDD.

    • Maintain close communication through your LRP to ensure smooth processing.

  6. Obtain Registration Confirmation

    • Once approved, receive your official registration number and confirmation.

    • Keep this documentation for regulatory compliance and marketing purposes.

  7. Maintain Compliance Post-Registration

    • Implement post-market surveillance and report adverse events as required.

    • Notify MDD of any changes to the device, labeling, or manufacturing process.

    • Ensure continuous compliance with MDACS rules and standards.


Tips for Smooth Handling:

  • Engage a regulatory consultant or experienced LRP if unfamiliar with Hong Kong regulations.
