PSI Has Been Granted a Licence to Manufacture Class A & B Products by CDSCO

Based on the danger they pose, medical devices are given one of four risk categories: A to D. Depending on the kind of device, the CDSCO application processing costs might vary. No matter how the device is classified, the application procedure takes 6 to 9 months. Applications for devices for which no suitable predicate device can be found will be classified as "Innovative" and will likely need more time.

Once accepted, each manufacturing site receives an Import License (also known as an MD Form 15), which includes a list of the items permitted. To that end, CDSCO has approved PSIDispo to manufacture both Class A-B medical devices.

What’s all this about? Medical devices are any item used on its own or in conjunction with others to detect, alleviate, treat, or prevent illness in people or animals. There is little to no danger to patients from medical devices in the Class A and B medical devices list categories.

On 17 October 2017, the CDSCO announced the Medical Devices Rules, 2017 (MDR, 2017), focusing on quality and safety control to assure the highest standards of all medical devices introduced in the Indian market. The rule specifies categories for different types of diagnostic medical equipment depending on their relative danger.

Class A medical devices provide little danger to patients and do not need any surgical procedures (like thermometers)

Class B medical devices provide a modest danger to the patient yet are relatively non-invasive (such as needles and suction cannulas).

One need not be a member of the privileged to apply! Anyone can apply for this medical device license: The State Licensing Authority (SLA) is the CDSCO-designated competent authority for issuing Class A Medical Device India Manufacture Licenses. The State Licensing Authority enforces all standards and laws of the production, distribution, and other procedures of Class A and Class B medical devices and their sale. According to the MDR, 2017, Class, A medical devices are still self-regulatory and do not need to be licensed.

For Class A or Class B medical devices, the manufacturer must submit an MD-3 application to the SLA for the Grant of a License to Manufacture.
