  • 1.  DISTRIBUTION OF MEDICAL DEVICES IN HUNGARY

    Posted 15-Apr-2022 05:16

    Hi everyone, 

    as regards distribution of medical devices in Hungary, if devices are manufactured and registered in a EU country and the conformity assessment evaluation was already carried out, it is not necessary to notify it to the Competent Authority in Hungary (OGYÉI), given that the essential requirements as of Annex I MDR (i.e., packaging, IFU and labeling in Hungarian, etc.) are fulfilled.

    My question is, if the essential requirements are not fulfilled, how is it necessary to do in order to sell the products?

    Thank you

    Best regards

    Valentina,

    I am not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if you need a CE mark to ship and distribute a device in Hungary? 

    Best,

    Dar

    Dear Valentina,

    as Hungary is one of the Member States of the EU, the devices to be marketed need to be CE-marked and have valid DoC. In case the ERs are not fulfilled, CE-marking is not possible, therefore the device cannot be marketed (as in any EU MSs). You may find useful information here: Országos Gyógyszerészeti és Élelmezés-egészségügyi Intézet (gov.hu)

    Dear Peter,

    I would like to ask if as a Legal Manufacturer/Distributor (not domiciled in Hungary) located in Germany should we need a local licence holder in Hungary to perform local registration into the OGYEI? 

    Is the medical device registration a kind of electronic submission or not?

    If so, what are the document and information requirements which should be provided to local representative? Is there a registrations fee?

    Are Letter of Authorization and Free Sales Certificate from CoO required?

    How long it takes to submit registration and get approval? Is there any notification certificate delivered due to the approval?

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Best regards,

    Dear Buket,

     

    thank you for your mail. Unfortunately, I cannot help, as I have retired and do not follow the developments in the area since early 2023.

     

    with best regards

    Dear Buket,

    The OGYEI link that Péter shared in 2022 is still good. If you read that page, they explain that registration is required for companies domiciled in Hungary.

    Germany is a member state, too, so a German manufacturer with a device conforming to MDR or IVDR can freely place it on the market there.

    (Happy retirement, Péter!)
