The Philippines FDA has announced a virtual consultation on the draft Reference List of Class A Medical Devices and the draft addendum to the Full Implementation of Administrative Order No. 2018-0002 entitled “Guidelines Governing the Issuance of an Authorization for a Medical Device based on the ASEAN Harmonized Technical Requirements”. The PFDA has invited representatives from the medical device industry to attend the Virtual Public Hearing on Wednesday 23 June 2021.
Philippines FDA Circular No. 2021-002 was issued on Monday 4 January 2021 and contains the implementation schedule of Administrative Order No. 2018-0002 as well as guidelines to medical device manufacturers on how to apply for marketing authorization licenses. Read our article from 11 February 2021 to learn more about FDA Circular 2021-002.
This industry consultation concerns the Reference List of Class A Medical Devices only and is the next step in the consultation process following the release of a draft for comments on the List of Class A Medical Devices by the Philippines FDA at the end of April. Read our article from 29 April 2021 to learn more about the proposals.
The List of Class A Medical Devices helps medical device industry stakeholders to determine the appropriate risk classification of their device in order to apply for the correct market authorization; in this instance to apply for a Certificate of Medical Device Notification (CMDN).
A CMDN is the required marketing authorization certificate for all medical device products that are classified as Class A products. In other words, if a medical device is on the List of Class A Medical Devices, then a CMDN should be applied for.
