  • Market access: Without a valid registration certificate, medical devices cannot be legally marketed or distributed in India
  • Quality assurance: The registration process requires compliance with quality management standards including ISO 13485, ensuring consistent manufacturing quality
  • Regulatory accountability: Registration creates a traceable record for post-market surveillance and enables authorities to take action if safety issues arise

Medwisdom Lifescience guides manufacturers through every step of the registration process to ensure full compliance and timely market access.
