NMPA Registration and medical device export to China

Classification Medical Devices China

In general, Medical Devices are classified in three categories; Class I, II and III. With regard to exporting these devices to China, one has to be aware of the different steps each product class requires.

• Medical Class I
  Class I Medical devices are deemed to be low risk and are therefore subject to the least regulatory controls. For example, dental floss is classified as Class I device.
• Medical Device Class II and III
  A Medical device of Class II means the device is classified with moderate risks. These devices shall be strictly controlled and administered to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Medical devices of Class III are devices with relatively high risks. These medical devices are strictly controlled and administered through special measures.
