China's NMPA Announces 2024 Medical Device Industry Standard Revision Plan
March 22, 2024 - The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has organized a selection process for the 2024 medical device industry standard revision projects, finalizing a list of 98 projects for the upcoming year. These projects, now publicly announced, aim to update and refine the regulatory standards governing medical devices in China.
The plan includes 8 compulsory industry standard revision projects covering a range of critical medical equipment. These projects focus on essential safety and performance requirements for devices such as respiratory equipment, infant cardiopulmonary monitors, joint replacement implants including knee and hip prostheses, dental curing lights, continuous blood purification devices, disposable bilirubin plasma adsorbers, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support devices, and large-capacity pressure steam sterilizers.
In addition to the mandatory standards, the NMPA has also outlined 90 recommended industry standard revision projects. These revisions are intended to guide manufacturers and ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of medical devices available in the market.
This comprehensive plan reflects the NMPA's commitment to enhancing the regulatory framework for medical devices in China. By updating these standards, the administration aims to promote technological innovation, improve patient safety, and meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.
The public disclosure of these projects invites feedback and suggestions from industry stakeholders, reinforcing the collaborative approach of the NMPA in setting regulatory standards. The finalized standards, once implemented, are expected to have a significant impact on the medical device industry, ensuring that products meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
