CONTACT USSo you have one or more cleared medical devices in the US and now you want to license them in Canada. While the Canadian registration system seems simple, you can't just change the headers and submit “as-is” to Health Canada.
In this white paper, we will breakdown the differences between compiling an application for a Class III or IV non-IVD Canadian Medical Device License (MDL) and a 510(k) in a detailed, side-by-side comparison chart. We also discuss three potential show-stoppers:
- Classification
- Quality System
- License Type
We'll answer your biggest questions about the MDL application and more in this 17-page white paper.
