Notas del editor
Regulatory affairs for medical devices and in-vitro devices in India goes through a process of different “Schedules”. Each schedule determining a different part of the regulatory framework, ultimately going through 8 schedules and obtaining product approval in the end. We will be going through the more important parts of these schedules, namely, the first 4 schedules. Classification, Fees and Licencing, Notified Bodies and Documentation
In the first schedule, India’s classification of medical devices and in-vitro diagnostic devices have a very specific scope as can be seen here in the example. The types of medical devices are specified in the CDSCO document and put into the 4 classes A, B, C and D. The reasoning behind the classes are the severity of risk of each device. With class A having the lowest risk, and class D having the highest risk. Any medical device or in-vitro device not specified in CDSCO’s list is considered non-notified and a different procedure, which we will go through later is required.
Currently, the different classes of medical devices or in-vitro devices are being handled by various authorities. All import licences are issues through the CLA or the Central Licensing Authority, while Manufacturing licences are issued by the SLA or State licensing authority, for Class A and Class B, while CLA issues manufacturing licenses for Class C and Class D.
Permission from CLA is required to conduct clinical investigations, while Sale licences are controlled by the SLA. For the quality management system verifications, CLA will perform the audits for Class C and Class D, while Notified bodies will be able to handle Class A and Class B. A special case being given to Class A medical devices and IVDs, where prior inspection will not be required before the grant of manufacturing of Class A devices.
Next is the new PROPOSED system. This is only slightly different in that Class A Manufacturing licences can be issued without prior inspections, and permission is not needed for clinical investigation for Class A devices.
Moving on to the next “Schedule”, the fees for each import and manufacturing licence are as follows. For medical devices, the licence fees are different depending on their class, with Class A being the cheapest and Class C & D being the most expensive. Take note that the prices for a site and each distinctly different medical device are different. For IVDs, the price range is similar to the MDs with A & B being cheaper than C & D as well.
Having notified bodies will speed the process of registration along. Companies like us, ARQon, that are registered and accredited by the relevant authorities will help with the registration of the devices. Some other things to note are that the schedule fee is to be charged by notified bodies and if you require more information, registration of notified bodies are prescribed in the schedules.
Some responsibilities that a notified body can assist with are that they are able to verify the following processes and documents. Including QMS conformance through inspection, Essential requirements for the relevant regulations, Validation of manufacturing process and conformity of material. To ensure that the notified bodies are performing to standard, the SLA is also to audit 2 percent of the audits
Next, on the next schedule, the Documentation required for registration to obtain the import licence. All of the required documents can be found in the official file from the CDSCO website. We will only be focusing on the differences in documents required for Class A devices and Class B, C and D devices. Seen here, is are the documents that are needed for each category, that the other category lacks. The main idea here is that the higher classes as compared to Class A require more in-depth and thorough documents. An example is shown where Class A only requires a device description, intended use, and specification, the higher classes require a device master file. Or that only an analytical performance summary is required of Class A devices, higher classes require a copy of the performance evaluation report.
Some things to note about the import licence. The licence is issued in MD-15, and the rough timeline is 9 months to obtain the licence. The validity of the licence will remain valid in perpetuity unless suspended or cancelled or surrendered.
In the case of New IVD, the applicant shall obtain prior permission to import in Form MD-29 as per Rule 64. Also, if there is a constitution change, a fresh application is required.
In the case where the medical device to register has a predicate device, these here are the 8 documents to be submitted together with the application for the import or manufacturing licence. For IVDs, only number 1, 3, 5 ,7 and 8 are required if the IVD has a predicate device or if the IVD is non-notified. “What about non-notified medical devices?”, you might ask. If the device is not in the extensive list, and is not under the “Drugs” category, it is not a regulated device in India.
Additional documents are the Plant master file, or PMF and the Power of Attorney, or POA documents. If you are familiar with a site master file, a plant master file is almost the same set of documents needed. Documents such as general information about the site, personnel, premises, equipment, et cetera. For the full list of documents needed, refer to the medical device rules 2017 from the CDSCO website in Schedule 4: Part III, Appendix 1.
For the Power of Attorney documents, It is required for issue of registration certificate and/or import license for import of drugs in India. Similarly, for more information, see the medical device rules 2017 from CDSCO website in Schedule 4: Part I.
To end this presentation, I shall provide a summary. The regulatory process for India for MD and IVD registration is split up into 8 distinct schedules. The devices are classified into 4 categories: A, B, C and D. Devices in Class A has the lowest risk assessment, while devices in Class D has the highest. As can be seen in the table previously, each Class require varying degrees of permission from different authorities, depending on the licences they require, where Class A and B are can be handled by accredited and registered Notified bodies. The technical documents required for each class of MD/IVD also differ.
