Registration of medical products in Ukraine: procedure, documents, terms

The sale and use of most medical devices and medical equipment (hereinafter - medical devices) in Ukraine is possible only after their certification. Certification of medical devices is performed by the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control (hereinafter - the SSUMDC). To certify medical devices, an applicant shall submit an application and a set of documents.

The application must contain the following information:

• Name of medical devices (in Ukrainian and English) and their catalog number;

• Name of the applicant (country of registration of the applicant, address, telephone, fax, e-mail);

• Manufacturer’s name (country of registration of the manufacturer, address, telephone, fax, e-mail);

• Safety class of medical devices depending on the degree of potential risk of their use (the legislation provides for four safety levels: I, IIa, IIb and III).

In addition, if the applicant is not the manufacturer, the application must be accompanied by a document confirming that the applicant is authorized to conduct state registration on behalf of the manufacturer (e.g., power of attorney), indicating the name of the official representative (applicant) in Ukraine.

In addition to the above documents, an applicant must also receive and properly execute the documents from the manufacturer. It is, in particular, a declaration of conformity and its annexes confirming the class and other parameters of the medical product subject to certification.
