Since October 2024, China’s National Medical Products Administration has formally applied its Human Factors Engineering (HFE) guidance across medical device submissions. Two years later, manufacturers are still navigating how those expectations translate into documentation, testing strategies and regulatory outcomes.
This webinar goes beyond theory to share what has actually happened inside submissions reviewed by NMPA. Drawing on Emergo’s direct experience supporting HFE submissions across device categories, we will break down how the guidance is being interpreted, where reviewers are focusing their feedback, and what successful documentation looks like.
What you will learn
How NMPA reviewers are applying HFE expectations and trends across submissions
What HF documentation should look like for China submissions
