How to Read Category Code of Medical Devices in China - Regulatory News - Medical Devices

In order to achieve standardized and informatization management of medical devices, China has drawn up unified category code of medical devices.
Most foreign enterprises don’t know the category code of medical devices, and cannot use the category code to search the risk level of the products.
In order to help foreign enterprises to solve the problem, CIRS makes a summary about the category code of medical devices as following:
