What We Deliver
Six Pillars of Peru Medical Devices Intelligence
Our Legal Representation service for Peru is built on six interconnected pillars that cover every regulatory, commercial, and operational dimension a medical devices company needs to enter and grow in this market.
01
DIGEMID Regulatory Compliance
We act as your appointed Legal Representative before DIGEMID, ensuring all medical device registrations comply with Decreto Supremo N 016-2011-SA and subsequent amendments. Our team monitors regulatory updates and ensures your portfolio remains continuously compliant throughout its lifecycle in Peru.

How It Works
From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence
Our four-step engagement model takes you from initial scoping to fully established Legal Representation in Peru, with clear milestones and transparent communication at every stage.
Step 1 · Day 1-3
Intake and Device Portfolio Scoping
We begin with a structured intake session to understand your device portfolio, target indications, existing regulatory approvals (FDA, CE, or equivalent), and commercial timeline for Peru. This scoping call defines the scope of Legal Representation, identifies which devices require full registration versus simplified pathways, and establishes a project plan.
Taevas Approach
During intake we review your existing technical files, ISO 13485 certificates, and any prior DIGEMID correspondence. We map each device to the Peruvian classification system and flag any documentation gaps that must be resolved before submission. You receive a written scoping report with timelines, fees, and a risk register within 72 hours of the intake call.

Import-Dependent Market
Peru imports the vast majority of its medical devices, with the United States, Germany, China, and Brazil among the leading source countries. Local manufacturing capacity is limited primarily to lower-risk consumables, meaning foreign manufacturers face strong structural demand across virtually all device categories. This import dependency makes a compliant Legal Representative essential for any brand seeking shelf presence.
DIGEMID Regulatory Modernization
DIGEMID has been actively modernizing its medical device regulatory framework, introducing electronic submission pathways and aligning classification criteria more closely with PAHO and GHTF global standards. Manufacturers holding CE marks or FDA clearances can leverage these equivalence provisions to accelerate registration timelines under simplified pathways. Staying current with DIGEMID regulatory updates is critical to avoiding rework.
Public Sector as Primary Buyer
EsSalud (the national social health insurer) and MINSA together account for a dominant share of medical device procurement in Peru, particularly for capital equipment, imaging, and in-vitro diagnostics. Inclusion on official petitorios and participation in SEACE tenders are therefore strategic imperatives for manufacturers targeting meaningful volume. Private clinic chains in Lima are growing but remain secondary in overall spend.
Growing Diagnostics and Digital Health Demand
Peru's post-pandemic health system investment has accelerated demand for diagnostic equipment, point-of-care testing devices, and digital health infrastructure. The government's push to expand laboratory capacity in regional hospitals outside Lima is creating new procurement opportunities for IVD and imaging device manufacturers. Companies that establish early Legal Representation and registration are best positioned to capture these institutional contracts.
