Why Should You Attend:

Brazil’s medical device industry faced a number of challenges in recent years: a complex regulatory process created long delays for approvals and a tumultuous economic and political future presented uncertainties for foreign manufacturers.

Recently ANVISA (THE BRAZILIAN HEALTH SURVEILLANCE AGENCY) has made efforts to simplify importation regulations to ease market entry for foreign manufacturers commercializing in the country. Class 1 and 2 were freed from complex regulatory procedures such as renewal of registration every 5 years, while class 3 and 4 registration can be valid for 10 years. There were also efforts to simplify GMP inspections overseas.

For companies currently selling or seeking expansion in Brazil, it´s mandatory to stay on top of the new regulations to comply with anvisa’s requirements.

In this webinar, Brazilian regulatory affairs expert, CLAUDIA THEREZA DE LUCCA MANO will examine current medical device registration requirements in Brazil and recent regulatory changes.
