CDSCO issues revised Risk Based Classification of Cardiovascular and neurological medical devices; seeks stakeholders comments

New Delhi: Issuing a draft list of revised risk-based classification of cardiovascular and neurological devices, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO),the Directorate General of Health Service, the Government of India has requested all concerned associations/stakeholders to submit their feedback within 30 days.
The draft list enclosed with the official notice includes a total of 553 medical devices. Of these, a substantial number—351 devices—fall under the category of cardiovascular care. These devices serve various critical functions, such as monitoring blood pressure, being implanted during open-heart surgeries, amplifying or conditioning signals from apex cardiographic transducers, and facilitating blood flow between arteries through specialized passageways and others.
The remaining 202 devices are classified under neurological use and encompass a wide range of functions, including delivering controlled electrical impulses to subcutaneous tissues, transmitting electrical signals from skin electrodes, and connecting electroencephalographic electrodes to EEG systems, among other neurological applications.
In exercise of the powers conferred under sub-rule (3) of rule 4 of the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, the Drug Controller General (India) classified medical devices based on the intended use, risk associated with the device and other parameters specified in the First Schedule of the Medical Devices Rules-2017.
As per the Medical Device Rule, 2017, medical devices other than in vitro diagnostic medical devices shall be classified on the basis of parameters specified in Part I of the First Schedule, into the following classes:—
(i) low risk-Class A;
(ii) low moderate risk-Class B;
(iii) moderate high risk-Class C;
(iv) high risk-Class D
The recent notice mentioned, " As per the notification vide S.O. 648(E) dated 11.02.2020, all medical devices are regulated under the Medical Devices Rules (MDR), 2017. In accordance to the MDR, 2017 Chapter II, Rule 4(3), the Central Licensing Authority needs to classify such medical devices as per risk-based approach."
In this regard, the existing classification lists in the following categories have been revisited and new entries have been added based on their classification as per the First Schedule (Part I) of the MDR, 2017:
1. Cardiovascular
2. Neurologic
The attached draft classification lists have been shared for final review, and all associations/stakeholders are encouraged to share their feedback within a 30-day period by completing the designated Google Form. at https://forms.gle/62xF3BtXWC5pgD3TA from the date of publication of this draft.
