NMPA Released a Note about Standardizing the Classification of Medical Devices.
On 10.10.2017 the NMPA (China Food and Drug Administration) introduced in its Notice No. 2017/127 a specific work flow for the classification of medical devices, which applies to newly developed medical devices that had not yet been included in the “Medical Device Catalogue”. The regulation officially comes into force on 01.08.2018 but experience has shown that it will probably be applied in practice earlier than this.
