Medical device registration in Russia

The medical device registration certificate, an official document issued by the Russian Federation Health Supervisory Authority, Roszdravnadzor, authorizes the relevant medical device to be suitable for production, import, sale and use in Russia because it has passed a preliminary assessment.

Not only medical devices produced in Russia, but all medical devices imported into Russia from abroad must be registered.

    • 4. (Simultaneous with step 3) The company must prepare all technical documents required for registration.
    • 5. The medical device is graded and, if there is no similar medical device registered in Russia, quality assessment, efficiency and safety tests are carried out as the first step. After that, clinical evaluations are conducted at two different medical institutions. A two-step quality assessment, efficiency and safety assessment are performed on medical devices.
    • 6. The entity submits the entire technical file to Rosdravnadzor. After completing the medical device registration, you must obtain the "GOST-R" certificate based on the registration certificate, the hygiene certificate according to the item, and the measuring instrument certificate according to the characteristics of the product.

  • Why is it important?

    Why is it important?

    All medical devices produced abroad and imported into Eurasia, as well as medical devices produced in Eurasia, must be registered with the Federal Health Supervisory Service. Medical devices can be imported and sold in Eurasia only after passing the pre-evaluation and registration.

    In order to register medical devices in Russia, even if tests were performed for approval by CE or FDA, a separate test, etc., conducted at an Eurasian authorized laboratory must be performed according to mandatory requirements. Russia does not accept internationally recognized certifications such as EU CE certification or US FDA approval, as Russia has not entered into a certification agreement with the EU or the US.
