Registration Process Overview
Here’s a step-by-step overview to help navigate the registration process for IVDs in Malaysia:
Classification
Submission
Evaluation
ApprovalClassification
In Malaysia, IVD devices are classified into four classes based on the risk level associated with the device based on several factors specified by the MDA:
- Class A: Low Risk
- Class B: Low-Moderate Risk
- Class C: High-Moderate Risk
- Class D: High Risk
Submission
Once the classification is determined, the conformity assessment is done by a registered Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) eligible for Class B, C, and D IVD.
↓
The CAB decides to grant certification if there is sufficient evidence of conformity.
↓
Submit the registration application through the Medical Device Centralized Online Application System (MeDC@St2.0+), provided by the MDA.
↓
The application must include comprehensive documentation as per the Common Submission Dossier Template (CSDT), except for Class A IVDs.
Evaluation
The MDA conducts a thorough evaluation of the application to ensure that the device complies with the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737) and meets all safety and performance requirements.
Approval
After successful evaluation, the MDA grants approval for the IVD device registration. Once approved, the device can be legally imported, exported, and marketed in Malaysia.
