    Hi everyone,

    We’re new to Canadian regulation and entering with a combination device in Canada.The biological part is covered by the other manufacturer but we are responsible for registering the medical device.

    Can you share some information on how to classify products in Canada and also what are the registration requirements to get our medical device approved.

    Thank you!

    Hi Akanksha,

    Medical Devices in Canada are regulated as per Medical Device Regulations SOR/98-282.
    Classifications is done as per Schedule 1 of the Regs.

    Thanks,

    We would be happy to assist you with your Canadian efforts.  There are a number of inputs that go into determining the product classification and device listing information for Health Canada application purposes.

    Hi Akanksha!

    The nice people at Emergo have some great free resources to give you an overview of the process. Once you have classified your device, you will know how much supporting documentation will be required. Note that Health Canada requires that your quality management system is certified to ISO 13485 under the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP).

    Cheers
    Karen
