The RZN certification cycle for Class C medical devices typically spans several months. Here’s a breakdown of the general timeline:

1. Preparation Phase

• Document Preparation: Gathering and preparing all required technical documentation, translations, and supporting materials can take several weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of the device and the completeness of your documentation.

2. Application Submission

• Submission Time: Once you have completed the application and gathered all documents, submitting them to RZN can be done relatively quickly, usually within a few days.

3. Review and Evaluation

• Initial Review: RZN will conduct an initial review of your application and documentation. This stage typically takes 1-2 months. RZN may request additional information or clarification, which could extend this period.
• Technical Review: Detailed evaluation of the technical documentation, including risk management and clinical data, may take an additional 1-2 months.

4. Facility Inspection

• Inspection Scheduling: If an inspection of the manufacturing facility is required, scheduling and conducting the inspection can add another 1-2 months to the process, depending on availability and logistics.

5. Certification Decision

• Final Review: After completing the review and inspection, RZN will make a decision on the certification. The issuance of the certification usually takes about 1 month.

6. Total Timeframe

• Overall Duration: In total, the RZN certification process for Class C medical devices generally takes about 4-6 months. However, this can vary based on the completeness of the application, the complexity of the device, and the efficiency of the review and inspection processes.

Factors Affecting Timelines

• Completeness of Documentation: Incomplete or inaccurate documentation can lead to delays.
• Requests for Additional Information: Responding promptly to requests from RZN can help avoid extended timelines.
• Inspection Delays: Scheduling and conducting inspections may impact the overall timeline.
