To apply for Class B medical device registration under the Medical Device Administrative Control System (MDACS) in Hong Kong, you must follow a structured submission process managed by the Medical Device Division (MDD) of the Department of Health. Below is a complete guide:
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Appoint Local Responsible Person (LRP) | The manufacturer must appoint a Hong Kong-based entity or individual to act as the LRP. | The LRP handles registration, communication with the MDD, and post-market duties. |
| 2. Register the LRP (if not yet registered) | Submit Form MD-TR to register the LRP. | No fee required. |
| 3. Classify the Device | Use MDACS classification rules to confirm the device is Class B. | Based on GHTF principles. |
| 4. Prepare Documentation | Compile all required documents (e.g., Form MD1, CE/FDA approval, ISO 13485, IFU). | Documents must be in English or Chinese. |
| 5. Fill Out Form MD1 | This is the core application form for device listing. | Signed by the LRP. |
| 6. Submit Application Package | Submit hard copies of Form MD1, supporting documents, and HK$500 fee to the MDD. | No online or email submission is accepted. |
| 7. Wait for MDD Review | The MDD may raise questions or request clarifications. | Review time is usually 4–8 weeks. |
| 8. Receive Listing Confirmation | Upon approval, the device is listed under the MDACS. | No formal certificate is issued, but the device is shown in the public database. |
