Medical Devices Classification Search System (MDCSS)
The MDCSS contains over 4000 types of medical devices which approved in Chinese market. There are included class I, class II, class III medical devices as well as product which not considered as medical devices (Non medical devices).
Class I Medical Devices are those with low risk degree and for which safety and effectiveness can be ensured through routine administration
Class II Medical Devices are those with moderate risk and for which strict administration is required to ensure their safety and effectiveness
Class III Medical Devices are those with higher risk and for which must be strictly controlled via special measures in respect to safety and effectiveness
Non Medical Devices are those not managed as medical device under CFDA related regulations, or it doesn’t meet the definition of medical devices.
Medical Devices are defined as any instrument, apparatus, appliance, material, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibration substances and other similar substances and related articles, including the needed computer software. Its main effectiveness is achieved via physics ways and so on. It does not achieve its principal action in or on the human body by means of pharmacology, immunology or metabolism, but which may be assisted in its function by such means; the use of which is to achieve the following intended objectives:
1. Diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease;
2. Diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of or compensation for an injury or handicap conditions;
3. Investigation, replacement or modification for anatomy or a physiological process;
4. Life support or maintenance;
5.Control of conception；
6. Offer information for medical or diagnosis purpose via inspecting the human samples.
What does it do?
MDCSS lists the product name, classification name, classification codes, intended purpose, structure features, and the managing category. The medical device name and classification codes identify the generic category of medical device for CFDA and the classification assigned to a medical device is based upon the classification rule of medical device designated under the Regulations for the Supervision and Administration of Medical Device (State Council Decree No. 650).
MDCSS enables you to determine the managing category/class of medical device with regulatory controls by classification code, classification name or product name. MDCSS also provides initial assessment of your regulatory obligations under CFDA regulations. CIRS is constantly maintaining its database to keep it up to date.
