ANVISA Brazil medical device registration — MD Regulatory
Brazil · ANVISA

ANVISA Brazil medical device registration

Around half of Brazil's medical devices are imported, making it one of the most attractive emerging markets — and one of the most exacting. Registration runs through ANVISA under RDC 751/2022 and the essential requirements of RDC 848/2024. MD Regulatory gives you the documentation to prepare that submission correctly, the first time.

How we help

A prepared submission, not a guess

Our kits are built from the ANVISA regulations themselves — not summaries — and mirror the technical file a Class III/IV registration actually needs.

Straight from the regulations
Built on RDC 751/2022 and RDC 848/2024, not third-party summaries.
Reuse your CE evidence
Every essential requirement mapped to the matching EU MDR GSPR.
Know before you file
A scored gap analysis flags killer items before ANVISA does.

How registration works

Six steps from classification to market. The MD Regulatory kits carry steps 3 and 4.

01
Classify & scope
Class I–IV and grouping under RDC 751/2022.
02
Appoint a BRH
Brazil Registration Holder as ANVISA contact.
03
Gap analysis
Score the file; close gaps before filing.
05
Submit (+ BGMP)
File to ANVISA; BGMP first for Class III/IV.
06
Decision → sell
ANVISA reviews the dossier; you go to market.
04
Compile the dossier
Technical dossier on the IMDRF table of contents.

Steps in magenta are where the MD Regulatory kits do the heavy lifting.

Two regulatory pathways

Notification

Class I & II · lower risk
Process
Manufacturer submits a Notification to ANVISA via the Brazil license holder.
Requirements
Notification form, Manufacturer Authorization Letter, proof of compliance, SBAC if required.
Timeline
Usually processed within 30–45 days.
Renewal
Notifications do not expire.

Registration

Class III & IV · higher risk
Process
Full Registration with a technical dossier; usually involves an ANVISA inspection of the site.
Requirements
Technical dossier, Manufacturer Authorization Letter, Certificate of Free Sale, BGMP certificate, SBAC if applicable.
Timeline
Review of the dossier typically takes several months.
Renewal
Registration is renewed periodically.
