Costa Rica Registration Holder for Device Companies

ANSWERED ON THIS PAGE:

  • What is the in-country representation requirement for medical device companies in Costa Rica?
  • What is the role of a Costa Rican Registration Holder?
  • Does the registration holder control the Costa Rica device registration?

If you have no local office in Costa Rica, you must designate a Costa Rica Registration Holder to interact with the Ministry of Health and manage the approval process on your behalf. This is an essential step in registering your medical device for sale in Costa Rica. Your Registration Holder is responsible for submitting all your medical device registration documents to the Ministry of Health, and controls your device registration once regulators grant approval.
