Get answers to the most common questions about CDSCO medical device registration, licensing, and regulatory compliance in India.
The CDSCO medical device registration process in India involves device classification (Class A–D), preparation of a technical dossier including design documentation, risk management files, and clinical data, followed by online application submission through the SUGAM portal. Approval timelines vary by device class — Class A/B typically take 3–6 months, while Class C/D may require 12–18 months. Medwisdom's consultants manage every step of this process on your behalf.
As per the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, all four classes (A, B, C, and D) require regulatory authorization. Class A and B devices require a manufacturing or import license from the State Licensing Authority (SLA), while Class C and D devices require mandatory CDSCO approval at the central level. Our team supports all device classes across the registration spectrum.
Registration timelines depend on the device class and completeness of the submitted dossier. Class A and B devices can typically be registered within 3–6 months, Class C within 9–12 months, and Class D devices may take 12–24 months. Medwisdom's proactive regulatory strategy and complete first-submission approach help minimize delays and optimize approval speed.
