Medical Devices & Equipment
Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) — Medical Devices Department
The UAE medical devices market is valued at over $1.2 billion and is growing rapidly, driven by world-class hospital infrastructure in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. MOHAP mandates device registration under a risk-based classification system ranging from Class A (low risk) to Class D (high risk), with import licences required for all regulated products. Taevas provides full regulatory dossier preparation, local authorised representative services, and post-market surveillance support to ensure your devices reach UAE clinicians without delay.
Regulatory Pathways
Mandatory
Device Registration (MOHAP)
All medical devices must be registered with MOHAP prior to importation or sale. Taevas prepares and submits the complete technical dossier aligned with IMDRF and UAE-specific requirements.
Pre-Submission
Risk Classification Review
Devices are classified into Classes A through D based on intended use and risk profile. Taevas conducts pre-submission classification assessments to determine the correct pathway and documentation scope.
Mandatory
Import Licence & Customs Clearance
A valid MOHAP import licence is required before any shipment enters UAE ports. Taevas manages the full import licence application and coordinates with UAE Customs authorities for seamless clearance.
Ongoing
Post-Market Surveillance
MOHAP requires ongoing adverse event reporting and periodic safety update submissions for registered devices. Taevas maintains your UAE vigilance programme and liaises with MOHAP on any regulatory queries.
