Egypt Medical Device Registration
The process of medical device registration in Egypt is governed by the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA), which oversees all regulatory procedures concerning medical devices and in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) products. As Egypt continues to modernize its healthcare system and expand access to innovative medical technologies, navigating these regulatory requirements has become both more structured and increasingly essential for manufacturers.
At Registitute, we understand the evolving demands of Egypt’s medical device market. With deep regulatory expertise and strong local knowledge, we assist manufacturers, importers, and distributors in complying with all national requirements for successful product registration and commercialization.
Classification of Medical Devices in Egypt
Importance of Proper Classification
One of the foundational steps in Egypt medical device registration is proper product classification. The EDA categorizes devices based on risk level: Class I (low risk), Class IIa and IIb (moderate risk), and Class III (high risk). Accurate classification ensures the correct registration path and compliance documentation.
Current Trends Driving the Consumer Health Market
Impact on Registration Timeline
Each class has specific requirements related to documentation, testing, and clinical evidence. Higher-risk devices generally require more extensive reviews and longer approval timelines.
Key Registration Requirements
Appointing a Local Authorized Representative
For international manufacturers, appointing a local representative in Egypt is mandatory. This local entity will serve as the liaison with the EDA and manage all documentation submissions.
Required Documentation
Egypt medical device registration requires a technical file that includes product specifications, quality certificates (ISO 13485), safety data, labeling in Arabic and English, and, in some cases, clinical evaluation reports. At Registitute, we provide end-to-end support in preparing and validating all necessary documents to ensure compliance.
EDA Submission and Review
Once the dossier is complete, it is submitted to the EDA for evaluation. The review process may include additional information requests or inspections. Timelines vary, but typically range from 3 to 12 months depending on device class and product complexity.
Unique Challenges in the Egyptian Market
Language and Labeling Compliance
All product labels and instructions for use must be translated into Arabic. This is a common hurdle for foreign manufacturers. Registitute provides accurate and regulation-compliant translation services to streamline the registration process.
Shifting Regulatory Landscape
Egypt’s regulatory framework is continually evolving to align with international standards. Staying updated with these changes is crucial to avoid delays or rejections. Our team monitors these shifts closely, ensuring that your submission always meets the latest requirements.
