Self-declaration of medical devices
Self-declaration of medical devices is a process that allows manufacturers or authorized representatives to declare the compliance of medical devices with the technical regulations without an audit by a conformity assessment body.
This simplified approach to market entry helps reduce the time and costs associated with bringing products to market by including them in the Register of Responsible Entities for Medical Device Market Introduction (State Service of Ukraine for Medicines and Drug Control Register).
Who can use self-declaration?
What documents are required to enter medical devices in the Register?
Currently, registration in the State Service of Ukraine for Medicines and Drug Control Register is done electronically through the Service Recipient’s Cabinet. To register, you need to prepare:
- A power of attorney from the manufacturer to the authorized representative (for foreign manufacturers)
- A declaration of conformity of the medical devices with the relevant Technical Regulation
- A NOTICE of the inclusion of information in the Register of persons responsible for the market introduction of medical devices, active implantable medical devices, and in vitro diagnostic medical devices
- A confirmation letter from the conformity assessment body regarding the classification of the medical device
The State Service of Ukraine for Medicines and Drug Control may also require samples of medical device labeling, user instructions for consumers, and technical documentation for the medical devices. It is important to remember that all medical devices registered with the authorized representative must have technical documentation available to demonstrate upon request during market surveillance inspections by the State Service.
