    Hello everybody,
    Has anyone experience in the registration process of IVDs/MDs in Saudi Arabia?As a legal manufacturer from Europe and working with an authorized representative I was wondering if the need to provide a predefined agreement for authorized representative services to the Saudi Health authorities is really given. The template is coming from the Saudi Health Authorities. Or is it also possible to register the product without signing this agreement template?
    In general, I would appreciate any overview or guidance on the registration process in this country. What are the requirements in particular?
    Thank you for any help.
    M.

    Hi,

    For registering Medical Devices in Saudi Arabia, following are the key points for consideration:

    1.Yes, Authorized Representative legalized agreement by Saudi Arabia consulate is mandatory for registration purpose without which you cannot apply via online portal.
    2.The distributor or LTR representing your company has to be based in Saudi Arabia who would apply for MD filing via online portal i.e. MDMA.
    3.The guidelines provides flexibility of filing the product either as per EU regulations or US regulations.
    4.If CE certificate is available then they prefer to have labeling with address exactly as mentioned on CE certificate i.e. both office as well as factory address.

    Regards

    Hello Purvi,
    Thank you for the information. Our authorized representative provided us with a template of the agreement. This template seems to be provided from the Saudi Consulate itself. Do you kow if adjustments to the template are allowed or will it be invalid as soon as adjustments are made?

    Best regards.

    Hi,

    In our case the filled A.R. Agreement was forwarded to us by our distributor in Saudi Arabia. We just had to get it signed and legalized.
    Hence, please get further clarity from your LTR based in Saudi Arabia who should have the correct information.

    Good Luck !!
