Application Process for Class B Medical Device Registration under Hong Kong MDACS

Step 1: Confirm Device Classification

  • Verify that your medical device is classified as Class B based on Hong Kong’s MDACS risk classification system.

Step 2: Appoint a Local Responsible Person (LRP)

  • Assign an LRP with a valid Hong Kong address to act as your official contact for regulatory matters.

Step 3: Prepare Application Documents

  • Gather all required documents, including:

    • Completed application form

    • Product description and specifications

    • Safety and performance test reports

    • Risk management documentation

    • Labelling and instructions for use in English or Traditional Chinese

    • Quality management system certificate (e.g., ISO 13485)

    • Copies of relevant certificates from other regulatory authorities (if available)

Step 4: Submit Application

  • Submit the application form and supporting documents to the Medical Device Division (MDD) of the Hong Kong Department of Health.

  • Submission can be done by mail or in person at the MDD office.

Step 5: Pay Application Fee

  • Pay the prescribed fee as per the MDACS fee schedule.

  • Keep the payment receipt for reference.

Step 6: Application Review by MDD

  • The Medical Device Division conducts an initial completeness check.

  • Then performs a technical evaluation of submitted documents.

  • If necessary, the MDD may request additional information or clarifications.

Step 7: Receive Registration Confirmation

  • After successful review and approval, the applicant receives an official registration confirmation letter along with a registration number.

Step 8: Maintain Post-Registration Compliance

  • Continue to comply with post-market surveillance, adverse event reporting, and any other ongoing regulatory obligations.
