In 2009, the Chinese government vigorously launched “China’s Health-Care Reform”, developed an ambitious blueprint, in which health care system will cover about 1.2 billion people by 2011. Medical devices have been widely used in the process of disease prevention, diagnosis, therapy, care and rehabilitation. It is estimated that within the next few years, Chinese medical device market is likely to be more than 600 billion RMB, and will surpass Japan to become the second largest medical device market following the United States. The Chinese medical devices market will attract more and more medical devices produced by overseas manufacturers and producers to penetrate such market.

To enter Chinese lucrative medical device market, the first obstacle faced by overseas medical devices manufacturers and producers is how to file the application for their imported medical device registration with Chinese regulatory authorities for medical devices.

In China, the process of application and approval for imported medical device registration is very complex, because the Chinese regulatory authorities for medical devices administer and control this process by exorbitant administrative measures and regulations, moreover, these exorbitant administrative regulations are variable and lack of transparency. Lack of knowledge of the Chinese laws and administrative regulations, and the cultural difference between China and Western countries as well as the language barriers will increase the challenge faced by overseas medical devices manufacturers and producers. Therefore, a detailed guidance of practical operation for application and approval of imported medical device registration and a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the latest Chinese laws and regulations for imported medical device registration have been become an essential prerequisite for overseas medical devices manufacturers and producers to achieve a successful application for their products entry into the Chinese medical device market.
