Are you looking to introduce your medical devices into the dynamic market of Dubai? Understanding the regulatory landscape is crucial for a smooth market entry.

 

In this guide, we'll walk you through the medical device registration process in Dubai, highlighting key steps and requirements to ensure compliance and expedite approvals.

​

​

1. Understanding Regulatory Authorities: In Dubai, medical devices are regulated by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA). ESMA oversees the registration and approval of medical devices to ensure their safety and efficacy in the market.

​

2. Classification of Medical Devices: Medical devices in Dubai are classified based on risk. The classification determines the regulatory requirements and documentation needed for registration. Devices are categorized into Classes I, IIa, IIb, III, and IV, with higher-risk devices requiring more extensive documentation and scrutiny.

​

3. Preparation of Technical Documentation: The registration process begins with the preparation of technical documentation, including details about the device's design, specifications, intended use, and risk assessment. This documentation serves as evidence of the device's safety and performance and is critical for gaining regulatory approval.

​

4. Quality Management System (QMS) Certification: Medical device manufacturers must have a valid Quality Management System (QMS) certification, such as ISO 13485, to demonstrate compliance with international quality standards. This certification is a prerequisite for registration and ensures that devices are manufactured under stringent quality control measures.

​

5. Labeling and Packaging Requirements: Medical device labeling and packaging must comply with ESMA regulations, including clear and accurate labeling of device specifications, instructions for use, and safety warnings. Packaging should also provide adequate protection for the device during transportation and storage.

​

6. Submission and Review Process: Once all documentation is prepared, it is submitted to ESMA for review. The regulatory authority conducts a thorough evaluation of the technical documentation to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and standards. This review process may involve clarification requests and additional information requests from ESMA.

​

7. Post-Market Surveillance and Compliance: After successful registration, medical device manufacturers must adhere to post-market surveillance requirements to monitor the safety and performance of their devices in the market. This includes reporting adverse events, conducting post-market studies, and implementing corrective actions as necessary to ensure ongoing compliance.
