Eleven Evaluation Reports from NMPA Reviewers: Roche and Sequent Medical on The List

The NMPA issued eleven Innovation Evaluation Reports for the 2^nd Quarter of 2021, guiding overseas and domestic manufacturers on how to go through the fast-track channel.

As the NMPA standardizes and streamlines the review process for fast-track approvals, it is vital for manufacturers to comply with NMPA requirements if you have similar devices entering China market. The Evaluation Reports, ten-to-twenty-page long, describe the following aspects:

1. Pre-clinical Trial
   1. product performance research
   1. BC (biocompatibility)
   1. sterilization
   1. product expiration date and packaging
   1. animal study
