Class C medical devices are categorized as moderate-to-high risk and require a structured approval process under the Vietnam Ministry of Health (MOH). The Department of Medical Equipment and Construction (DMEC) oversees the registration process.

In Vietnam, medical devices are classified into Class A, B, C, and D based on risk level, following the ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD). Class C medical devices are moderate-to-high-risk devices, requiring more stringent regulatory control than Class A or B but less than Class D.

Ensure your device is classified as Class C based on Circular 39/2016/TT-BYT, which follows ASEAN Medical Device Directive (AMDD) guidelines.
