For Class C medical device registration with Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA), the technical document requirements are comprehensive. These documents ensure that the medical device complies with the Essential Principles of Safety and Performance and meets regulatory standards for quality, safety, and efficacy.

Key Technical Document Requirements for Class C Medical Device Registration:

1. Device Description and Information:

   • A detailed description of the medical device, including:
     • Intended use of the device.
     • Indications for use and any contraindications.
     • The device classification (confirming Class C).
     • Product specifications, including dimensions, materials, and design features.
     • A list of components and a description of how the device functions.

2. Clinical Evidence:

   • Clinical Evaluation Report (CER): A critical document for Class C devices that must demonstrate the device’s clinical safety and effectiveness.
     • If clinical trials were conducted, data from these trials should be included.
     • If the device is not new or similar to other devices already approved, data from literature reviews or clinical experience may be used as evidence.
   • Clinical Trial Data: If applicable, clinical trial reports that provide detailed results of the studies on safety and efficacy.
   • Post-market Clinical Data: If the device has been marketed in other regions, provide post-market clinical data to support its safety and performance.

3. Risk Management Documentation:

   • A Risk Management Report following ISO 14971. This document must outline:
     • The hazard identification process.
     • The risk assessment process.
     • Risk control measures implemented to mitigate identified risks.
   • This report ensures the manufacturer has identified and mitigated potential risks associated with the device.

4. Quality Management System (QMS) Compliance:

   • Proof of compliance with an established Quality Management System (QMS), such as ISO 13485 certification.
   • The QMS documentation should include:
     • Procedures for design, development, manufacturing, and post-market surveillance.
     • Internal audit reports and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) compliance documents.
   • If the manufacturer is located outside of Singapore, provide ISO 13485 certification, audit reports, or equivalent documentation.

5. Product Labeling and Instructions for Use (IFU):

   • Labeling should comply with HSA requirements and include:
     • The name and address of the manufacturer.
     • The intended use and indications for the device.
     • Any warnings, contraindications, and precautions.
     • The batch/lot number, serial number, and expiry date (if applicable).
     • Instructions for use (IFU) in English, detailing how to properly use and handle the device, including maintenance and disposal instructions.
     • Symbols that may appear on the device or packaging.

6. Device Testing and Performance Data:

   • Performance testing results to demonstrate that the device performs as intended under expected use conditions.
     • This can include biocompatibility testing (for devices in contact with the body), sterility testing, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and software validation (if the device includes software).
   • Provide results from bench testing, preclinical testing, or any other relevant performance assessments.

7. Labeling and Packaging Specifications:

   • Detailed information about the device packaging and labeling to ensure it complies with HSA regulations.
   • This includes sterile packaging, shipping information, and storage requirements.

8. Manufacturing Information:

   • A description of the manufacturing process and the facilities involved.
     • Information should include details on the quality control and inspection procedures that ensure consistency and reliability in manufacturing.
   • If applicable, details on sterilization methods used for sterile devices.

9. Declaration of Conformity (DoC):

   • A statement from the manufacturer declaring that the device conforms to the relevant regulatory standards and HSA requirements.
   • This includes confirming compliance with international standards such as ISO 13485, ISO 14971, and other relevant directives.

10. International Regulatory Approvals (if applicable):

• Copies of any relevant international regulatory approvals for the device, such as FDA (U.S.), CE Marking (European Union), or TGA approval (Australia).
• This provides evidence of the device's approval and safety in other markets.

1. Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) Plan:

• A post-market surveillance plan that outlines the monitoring of the device once it is on the market.
• The plan includes details on vigilance reporting (adverse events, device failures), field safety corrective actions, and recall procedures if necessary.

1. Other Supporting Documentation:

• Any other additional documentation required by HSA based on the nature of the device. This could include biological safety evaluation, compatibility studies, or environmental impact assessments (if applicable).

How to Prepare the Application:

1. Gather all the required documents mentioned above.
2. Ensure that all documents are up-to-date, accurate, and compliant with HSA regulations.
3. Convert the documents into electronic format (e.g., PDF) as required for submission via the HSA Medical Device Registration (MDR) Portal.
4. Log into the MDR portal and fill out the online application form, uploading all required documentation.
5. Review the application to ensure completeness before submitting.

The completeness and accuracy of these technical documents are crucial for the smooth and timely processing of the registration application. If you have further questions on any specific documentation or process, feel free to ask!
