Mexican Medical Device market is expected to reach $6.5 billion by 2020. Being the second largest market for medical devices in Latin America, Mexico offers a good bet of business opportunities. However, to market the devices in the region, manufacturers need to follow certain standards and procedures and should perform a clear-cut mapping of organizational goals and capabilities with that of Mexico’s regional Regulatory requirements. Manufacturers are required to have a comprehensive outlook on Mexican Medical Device Regulatory regime. It starts with decoding:
- Health Authority information (The Federal Committee for Protection from Sanitary Risks [COFEPRIS])
- Import permits
- Device classification system (Class I, II, or III)
- How to reach the market – is there any requirement for local representative?
- How and where to register the medical device? The application types, fees and documentation required
- What is the documentation for imported products? Certificate of free sale, Certificate of Good Manufacturing Practice issued by the health authority country of origin
- Health authority timelines to respond on applications submitted
