Medical Devices & Equipment
National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)
Nigeria's medical device sector is expanding rapidly, driven by increased government healthcare spending and a growing private hospital network across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. NAFDAC classifies devices into Class A through D based on risk, and all imported devices require product registration and a valid import licence before distribution. Taevas manages the full NAFDAC dossier preparation, local agent appointment, and post-market compliance so your device reaches Nigerian clinicians without delays.
Regulatory Pathways
Mandatory
Device Classification & Dossier Preparation
NAFDAC assigns risk classes A to D to all medical devices. Taevas prepares a compliant technical dossier aligned to NAFDAC's Medical Device Registration Guidelines, ensuring accurate classification from the outset.
Mandatory
Product Registration with NAFDAC
All medical devices must be registered on the NAFDAC portal before sale or distribution in Nigeria. Taevas coordinates submission, tracks application status, and liaises directly with NAFDAC reviewers to resolve queries.
Mandatory
Import Licence & Customs Clearance
An import licence issued by NAFDAC is required for every shipment of registered medical devices into Nigeria. Taevas handles licence applications and coordinates with customs brokers at Lagos and Apapa ports for seamless clearance.
Ongoing
Post-Market Surveillance & Renewal
NAFDAC requires periodic renewal of device registrations and mandatory adverse event reporting under its post-market surveillance programme. Taevas monitors renewal timelines and manages all vigilance obligations on your behalf.
