To apply for D-class medical device registration with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore, follow these general steps:
1. Determine the Classification of the Device
- D-class devices are considered to present a higher risk to patients and must meet stricter regulatory requirements.
- Ensure your device falls into this category based on the risk classification guidelines provided by HSA.
2. Appoint a Local Authorized Representative
- If you are a foreign manufacturer, you must appoint a local Authorized Representative (AR) in Singapore to submit the application on your behalf.
3. Prepare Required Documents
You will need to prepare several documents for the registration process, including:
- Device Description: Detailed information about the device, its intended use, and how it works.
- Risk Assessment: A document assessing the risks associated with the device.
- Clinical Data: Provide clinical evidence demonstrating the device's safety and effectiveness.

4. Submit the Application via the Medical Device Information and Communication System (MEDICS)

5. Evaluation by HSA
- HSA will review the submitted documents to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
- Additional information or clarification may be requested during this process.
- For higher-risk devices, additional clinical data or evidence may be needed to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
6. Approval and Registration
- If the application meets all requirements, HSA will issue a Certificate of Registration (COR), which allows you to market the device in Singapore.
- Ensure compliance with post-market surveillance and adverse event reporting obligations once the device is on the market.
7. Post-market Obligations
