Hello everybody,

For european manufacturers, I would like to know if the medical devices must be previously approved in the origin country (Europe) to be approved in Brazil or is it enough to be approved in another country (USA for exemple) ?

thanks !

For medical device under IEC60601-1, Inmetro certificate can be used without approval in origin country. For other medical device, the approval in another country can be used. But for reagents, only approval in origin country is accetpable.

It has to be the "legal manufacturer" (although this figure do not exist in practice for Brazilian manufacturers), so yes, you can manufacture in one country and have the free sales of another. But it seems in your case the legal manufacturer is the European one, right?

Just a general update on GMP and registration....CP 50 has been published to revise RDC 25. The text proposes that the exemption list for cadastre be revoked (meaning that all class I and II devices will only be cadastre), and permits the beginning of the registration process with the inspection protocol (which was already being done). However, the registration itself still needs the certificate.

It also has a clause on accepting of third party audit reports to enable ANVISA to use reports form the MDSAP program.

Hi Marcelo, That's exciting news. :applause:
Is CP 50 draft or effective? Could you share the original regulation or relevant link?

Hi Marcelo,

Yes the legal manufacturer is in Europe.
By the way, when should a subcontractor be inspected by ANVISA?
With Single Audit Program, can an only one inspection of a subcontractor be enough for several manufacturers ?
thanks !

Yes, Taieb is right, CP 50 is still a draft (my bad, should have explained that CP means Public Consultation in portuguese).

The original document in Portuguese is attached. I?ve translated it below.
