Regulatory Information and Intelligence Tools: Devices

Medical Device Resources for Europe, Asia and Latin America

Due diligence information is critical when preparing your company’s medical or diagnostic devices for international marketing. Large companies rely on international regulatory affairs staff to manage every detail from product registration to labeling.

If you are a small to midsize company, it is most helpful to get an overview of the regulations before working with outside contractors. Global regulatory inconsistencies and misunderstandings may occur with regard to device classification, quality management, documentation and adverse event reporting. There are many good sources of general information in Table 10.
