- Labeling and Instructions for Use: Include translations into Portuguese as required.
Establish a Brazilian Legal Representative:
- If you are not based in Brazil, you must appoint a local representative (representante legal) who will act on your behalf in all communications with ANVISA.
Submit the Application:

Pay the Fees:
- Pay the required registration fees. The amount can vary depending on the device and the specifics of the application.
ANVISA Review:
- Once submitted, ANVISA will review your application. They may request additional information or clarifications during the review process.
Approval:
- If your application is approved, you will receive a registration number, and your device will be listed in ANVISA's database.
Post-Market Surveillance:
- After registration, comply with post-market surveillance requirements, including reporting adverse events and conducting periodic safety updates.
Additional Considerations
