China NMPA introduced a series of significant changes in medical device, IVD, companion diagnostic and combination products regulations in 2011. . With the implementation of decree Order 739, “Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices”, tens of new regulations and major updates in the forms of policies, guidelines, standards, and announcements were released in 2021. These updates and changes have impacted the complete product life cycle from new submissions, renewals to post market surveillance.
One giant leap from China medical device regulators—the NMPA began to recognize self-test report from manufacturers, with guidelines on the requirements and qualifications for self-test reports. New China CGP has been published adjusting the overall framework. Several clinical guidelines in CER, establishing equivalence, determining when to do clinical trial etc have been introduced. GMP as a new section requirement is added to the e-Filing catalogue.
With the sweeping changes, how can manufacturers or inventors be proactively prepared to shorten their time to market for new submissions, allow enough lead time for renewal as well as to know when to file for modifications to avoid penalties. Above all, how to stay compliant after your approval to meet China post market compliance as well hospital reimbursement code requirements.
Key updates include:
* Under Order 739: New law, regulation, policy, standards & guidelines
* New Perspective on Clinical Evaluation Pathways: clinical evaluation decision tree, overseas clinical data acceptance, clinical trial or not, piloted real-world data

As COVID-19 has become a pandemic, the time is critical for the support and reassurance that science can offer. In response to the outbreak, Chinese regulatory authorities adopted emergency measures to fast-track the review and approval process.
China NMPA (former CFDA) issued an unprecedented number of Emergency Approvals of medical devices, diagnostic assays, protective supplies, and sterilization tools. The first batch of diagnostic tests were approved within five days. Furthermore, multiple drugs and biologics are in a clinical trial and various stages of approval. One such example, Remdesivir — an antiviral drug that selectively inhibits the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of the influenza virus — is a potential agent against COVID-19 and was approved within three days to enter a clinical trial.
