The RZN certification process for Class C medical devices typically takes between 4 to 6 months. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline:

1. Preparation Phase

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

2. Application Submission

• Submission: Once all documents are ready, submitting the application to RZN usually takes a few days.

3. Review and Evaluation

• Initial Review: RZN conducts an initial review of the application and documentation, typically taking 1-2 months.
• Technical Review: A detailed evaluation, including the review of technical data, clinical evidence, and risk management documents, may take an additional 1-2 months.

4. Facility Inspection

• Inspection: If required, scheduling and conducting an inspection of the manufacturing facility can add 1-2 months to the process.

5. Certification Issuance

• Final Review: After completing the review and inspection, RZN issues the certification, which usually takes about 1 month.

Total Timeframe

• Overall Duration: The entire process generally spans 4-6 months from the preparation of documentation to the issuance of certification. This timeframe can vary based on factors like the complexity of the device, completeness of the application, and efficiency of the review and inspection processes.

Factors Influencing Timelines

• Completeness of Documentation: Incomplete or incorrect documents can cause delays.
• Additional Information Requests: RZN may request additional information, which can extend the review period.
• Inspection Scheduling: Timing for facility inspections can impact the overall duration.
