   Preparation:

   • Compile any available clinical trial data or performance testing results.
   • Include studies or literature that support the device's safety and effectiveness.
   • Ensure that the data complies with international standards, such as ISO 14155 for clinical trials.

3. Risk Management File:

   • Risk Assessment: A risk assessment document in line with ISO 14971, detailing the device’s potential risks (both foreseeable and unforeseen), how these risks are mitigated, and what steps are taken to ensure patient safety.
   • Harm Analysis: A detailed analysis of any potential harm that could arise from the device’s use and how it is prevented or mitigated.

   Preparation:

   • Include a thorough risk management plan, identifying all potential risks, how risks are assessed, and what controls are in place.
   • Ensure the document meets ISO 14971 guidelines, demonstrating the manufacturer’s risk management process.

4. Labeling and Instructions for Use (IFU):

   • Device Labeling: The label on the device packaging must include:
     • Device name.
     • Manufacturer name and address.
     • Intended use.
     • Warnings, precautions, contraindications.
     • Lot number or serial number.
   • Instructions for Use (IFU): A user manual or guide for the device, including proper usage instructions, maintenance, and safety information.
     • The IFU must be in Bahasa Indonesia and contain clear, comprehensive, and user-friendly instructions.

   Preparation:

   • Ensure that all labels and instructions are in Bahasa Indonesia.
   • Provide clear, concise, and complete instructions that users can easily follow.

5. Certificate of Free Sale (CFS):

   • A Certificate of Free Sale from the regulatory authority in the country of origin or other markets where the device is marketed (e.g., FDA, CE Mark).
   • This certificate demonstrates that the device is legally sold in other countries and is in compliance with their regulatory requirements.

   Preparation:

   • Obtain the Certificate of Free Sale from the regulatory authority in the device’s country of origin or any other country where it is already marketed.
   • Ensure that the CFS is up-to-date and issued by a competent authority.

6. Manufacturing License and GMP Certificate:

   • Manufacturing License: Provide a copy of the manufacturing license for the production facility where the device is made.
   • GMP Compliance Certificate: A certificate demonstrating that the manufacturing facility follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

   Preparation:

   • Ensure the manufacturing license and GMP certificate are current and valid.
   • The certificates should be issued by recognized authorities in the country where the device is manufactured.

7. Biocompatibility Test Results (if applicable):

   • For devices that come into direct contact with the human body (e.g., implants, surgical instruments), biocompatibility tests must be provided to show that the materials used in the device are safe for human use.
   • The tests must meet ISO 10993 standards for biocompatibility.

   Preparation:

   • If applicable, provide test results showing that the device materials meet ISO 10993 standards.
   • Ensure that all biocompatibility testing is performed by an accredited laboratory.

8. Performance Test Data (if applicable):

   • For certain devices, BPOM may require evidence of performance testing (e.g., electrical safety testing for electrical devices).
   • Provide detailed test reports, ensuring compliance with international standards for the specific device type.

   Preparation:

   • Ensure performance test data is available and conforms to applicable standards (e.g., IEC 60601 for electrical safety, ISO 13485 for quality management).

9. Regulatory Certificate (if applicable):

   • If the device has already been approved by another major regulatory agency (e.g., FDA, CE Mark), include a copy of the regulatory certificate that demonstrates compliance with international standards.

   Preparation:

   • Provide a copy of the FDA approval or CE Mark certificate, as applicable.

How to Prepare the Application Files

1. Document Compilation:

   • Ensure all documents are in Bahasa Indonesia or properly translated. BPOM requires all documentation to be submitted in the official language.
   • Organize the documents in the order required by BPOM for ease of review. Create a folder structure for clarity.
   • Label each file with clear and descriptive names (e.g., “Clinical Evaluation Report”, “Risk Management File”, etc.).

2. File Formatting:

   • BPOM typically accepts PDF files for document submission. Ensure that all files are formatted correctly and are not too large to upload.
   • For translated documents, attach both the original language version and the translated version in the same file, with clear differentiation between the two.

3. Ensure Compliance:

   • Double-check the requirements outlined by BPOM in the e-Registration System and ensure that all documents are included and properly formatted.
   • If unsure, consult with your Authorized Representative (AR) to ensure all necessary documents are prepared.

4. Documentation Checklist:

   • Create a checklist of all required documents to ensure nothing is missing. This will help prevent delays and rejections due to missing or incomplete files.

Precautions When Preparing the Application

• Accuracy and Completeness: Double-check all information for accuracy and completeness. Inaccurate or incomplete documents can delay the review process or lead to rejection.
• Translation: Ensure that all documents, particularly labeling and instructions for use, are translated into Bahasa Indonesia. The translation must be accurate and professional to avoid misunderstandings or compliance issues.
• Regulatory Changes: Keep up-to-date with any regulatory changes or additional requirements that may arise during the application process. BPOM may occasionally update their guidelines or request additional documentation.
• Testing Compliance: Ensure that all required testing (biocompatibility, performance, etc.) has been completed according to international standards (ISO, IEC) to meet BPOM’s expectations.
• Consult with AR: Work closely with your Authorized Representative (AR) to ensure that all documents are prepared according to BPOM’s specific requirements and to handle the e-Registration submission.
