  • Ensure your device falls into this category based on the risk classification guidelines provided by HSA.

  • Risk Assessment: A document assessing the risks associated with the device.

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

  • Ensure compliance with post-market surveillance and adverse event reporting obligations once the device is on the market.
