Summary
This is a machine-generated summary.
(1) The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has established the "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Second-Class Innovative Medical Device Special Review Procedure" to encourage innovation in medical devices, promote the application and promotion of new technologies, and drive the healthy development of the medical device industry in the region. This procedure is based on the "Medical Device Supervision and Management Regulations," "Medical Device Registration and Record Management Regulations," "In Vitro Diagnostic Reagent Registration and Record Management Regulations," and "Announcement of the National Medical Products Administration on the Release of Special Review Procedures for Innovative Medical Devices."
(2) This procedure applies to second-class innovative medical devices that meet the following conditions: (1) the applicant has a core technology patent for the product, or has obtained a patent or the right to use a patent in China through legal means; (2) the applicant has completed the pre-research and has a basic prototype product; (3) the product has a leading domestic level of technology or can replace imported products of the same type, and has significant clinical application value.
(3) The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Administration) and relevant technical institutions will implement the "pre-entry, one enterprise, one strategy, full-process guidance, and review and coordination" principle, and will prioritize the handling of innovative medical devices while maintaining standards and not reducing procedures.
(4) Applicants for innovative medical devices must submit an "Application Form for Special Review of Second-Class Innovative Medical Devices" (see Attachment 1) and provide supporting documents to prove that the product meets the requirements of this procedure. The documents must include: (1) qualification certificates of the applicant; (2) proof of product intellectual property or awards; (3) a comprehensive summary of the product's research and development process and results; (4) product technical documents, including product application range or expected use, product working principle or mechanism, main technical indicators and their basis, main raw materials, key components, production process and flow chart, and testing methods; (5) documents proving the innovation of the product, including academic papers, monographs, and file reviews published in core journals, analysis and comparison of domestic and foreign products of the same type, and the innovative content and significant value of the product in clinical applications; (6) product classification and risk analysis documents; (7) product instructions (draft); (8) other documents proving that the product meets the requirements of this procedure; (9) a self- declaration of the authenticity of the submitted documents.
(5) The Administration's Medical Device Supervision and Management Department guides the special review of second-class innovative medical devices, and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Food and Drug Inspection Center (hereinafter referred to as the Inspection Center) is responsible for reviewing the special review applications.
(6) The Inspection Center will not organize expert review if the application materials are: (1) false; (2) disorganized or contradictory; (3) inconsistent with the declared project; (4) incomplete or unclear patent rights; or (5) the product was previously rejected for not meeting the requirements of being a leading domestic technology or having significant clinical application value, and the product design has not changed.
(7) The Inspection Center will issue an opinion on the review within 60 working days after receiving the application, excluding the time for public disclosure and handling of objections. If the Inspection Center agrees to review the application, it will publicly disclose the applicant's name and product name on the Administration's website for at least 10 working days. If there are objections to the public disclosure content, the Inspection Center will study the opinions and make a final review decision.
(8) The Inspection Center will inform the applicant of the review result after making a decision. If the applicant is not registered within 5 years after being informed of the review result, the product will no longer be subject to review under this procedure. After 5 years, the applicant can reapply for special review under this procedure.
(9) For innovative medical devices that have been approved for review under this procedure, the Inspection Center will prioritize the inspection of quality management systems. The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Medical Device Inspection and Testing Research Institute will prioritize the inspection and testing of innovative medical devices and issue a testing report.
(10) Innovative medical devices must undergo clinical trials in accordance with the relevant regulations for medical device clinical trials. The Administration will supervise the clinical trials.
(11) If the clinical research of innovative medical devices needs to be significantly changed, such as revising the clinical trial plan, using methods, specifications, or adjusting the expected use, application range, or population, the applicant must evaluate the impact on the safety, effectiveness, and quality control of the medical device. If the main working principle or mechanism of the product changes, the applicant must reapply under this procedure.
(12) The Inspection Center will designate a person to communicate and provide guidance to the applicant, and discuss relevant technical issues with the applicant. The applicant can submit a "Communication and Exchange Application Form for Second-Class Innovative Medical Devices" (see Attachment 2
