CDMR Canada Medical Device Registration

Canada, with its population of over 38 million, relies heavily on imports to meet approximately 70% of its domestic demand for medical devices. The country's medical device sector is witnessing a surge in demand, fueled by an increase in chronic diseases and an aging population. This presents a significant opportunity for global medical device manufacturers.

Device Classification and Regulatory Pathways

Complying with Canadian Regulations

Regulatory Authority

Pure Global can assist with Canada's medical device registration, ensuring CMDR approval to sell in the Canadian market.

Classification

Canada categorizes medical devices into four classes based on the risk they pose. This classification influences the regulatory requirements for approval:

  • Class I devices, considered low risk, require a Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL) for manufacturers or importers.
  • Class II, III, and IV devices, representing higher risk levels, must obtain a Canadian Medical Device License (MDL) and undergo certification through the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP).

Key Requirements

The path to market involves:

  • Classifying your product correctly.
  • Obtaining an MDEL for Class I devices or an MDL for Classes II to IV devices.
  • Undergoing MDSAP certification for Class II to IV devices.

Foreign manufacturers benefit from not having to appoint a local license holder, streamlining the process for market entry.
