Catalog on Medical Device Classification (Revised Edition) (156 pages, in Chinese)

Following the Rules for Classification of Medical Devices (Decree No. 15 of China Food and Drug Administration), Catalog on Medical Device Classification (Revised Edition) is a normative document combining intended purpose, structural characteristics, pattern of use, and other related factors so as to determine the risk degree of medical devices. Catalog on Medical Device Classification (Revised Edition) contains 22 subdirectories including active surgical categories, 205 first level categories of products, 1136 second level product categories and 5641 typical examples of product names. This catalog does not contain the content of Classification Catalog on 6840 Vitro Diagnostic Products (2013 Edition), medical device kit or non-medical device product.
