Medical Device Control Office (MDCO), Department of Health, Hong Kong
Hong Kong's medical device market is valued at over USD 1.5 billion and serves as a critical springboard into Greater China. The Medical Device Control Office (MDCO) administers a risk-based classification system aligned with the IMDRF framework, covering Class I through Class IV devices. Taevas provides full-cycle regulatory and commercial support, from MDCO registration to distributor activation and KOL engagement across Hong Kong's public and private hospital networks.
All medical devices sold in Hong Kong must be listed or registered with the MDCO under the Medical Devices Ordinance. Taevas prepares technical dossiers aligned with IMDRF guidelines and manages the full submission lifecycle.
Devices are classified from Class I (low risk) to Class IV (high risk) based on intended use and risk profile. Taevas conducts pre-submission classification reviews to confirm the correct pathway before dossier preparation begins.
Importers and traders of medical devices in Hong Kong must hold a valid licence issued by the MDCO. Taevas acts as your licensed local representative and manages all import documentation and customs declarations.
Registered device holders must maintain vigilance reporting and field safety corrective action (FSCA) obligations under MDCO requirements. Taevas provides ongoing post-market surveillance management and incident reporting support.
Taevas combines deep regulatory expertise under the MDCO and Pharmacy and Poisons Board frameworks with an established commercial network spanning Hong Kong's public and private healthcare, retail, and wellness sectors.
Our Hong Kong regulatory team has direct experience navigating Medical Device Control Office and Pharmacy and Poisons Board submissions across all device classes and drug categories, reducing approval timelines and avoiding costly rejections.
Hong Kong's unique position as a bridge between international markets and mainland China means a successful Hong Kong entry can accelerate your Greater China strategy. Taevas leverages this positioning to maximise your regional market reach.
