What Are the Regulations and Entry Barriers for Spinal Implants in Brazil?
- A key factor in Brazil is regulation by the national health authority, ANVISA. Orthopedic implants, including spinal devices, are classified as medical devices and are regulated for registration and import.
- The implementation of RDC 751/2022 (March 2023) established new requirements for risk classification, registration/notification, labeling, instructions for use, traceability, etc.
- To import medical devices, products must be pre-approved (registered or notified), including spinal implants and their components. Recent updates also regulate the import of foreign-manufactured devices prior to registration, facilitating import of existing stock under certain conditions.
- These regulatory requirements raise the entry barrier, giving registered local manufacturers a competitive advantage over importers due to smoother processes and less vulnerability to customs delays.
