The processing time for RZN certification of Class 2b medical devices in Russia can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the device, the completeness of the application, and Roszdravnadzor's current workload. Generally, the process involves the following timeframes:

1. Application Review

• Initial Review: The initial review of the application and documentation typically takes 1 to 2 months. During this period, Roszdravnadzor assesses the submitted documents for completeness and compliance with regulatory requirements.

2. Technical Evaluation

• Detailed Evaluation: The technical evaluation, including a review of the technical file, clinical data, and quality management system, may take an additional 2 to 4 months. This timeframe can vary based on the complexity of the device and the need for additional information or clarification.

3. Inspection (if applicable)

• Factory Inspection: For Class 2b devices, a factory inspection by Roszdravnadzor may be required. Scheduling and conducting the inspection can add 1 to 2 months to the overall processing time, depending on the availability of inspection slots and the readiness of the manufacturing facility.

4. Certification Issuance

• Final Decision: Once the review and inspection are complete, Roszdravnadzor will issue the certification if all requirements are met. This final stage can take 2 to 4 weeks.

Total Estimated Time

• Overall Processing Time: The total processing time for RZN certification of Class 2b medical devices is typically 4 to 8 months. This estimate includes all stages from initial application submission to final certification issuance.

Factors Affecting Processing Time

• Completeness of Documentation: Incomplete or incorrect documentation can lead to delays. Ensure all required materials are thoroughly prepared and accurately submitted.
• Regulatory Changes: Changes in regulations or additional requirements can impact processing times.
• Workload of Roszdravnadzor: The volume of applications being processed by Roszdravnadzor can affect the overall timeframe.
