Interested in selling your medical device in Saudi Arabia? If so, there are a lot of things to know about Saudi Arabia's regulatory process before you get started. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) relies on reference market approval, but it is not a "rubber stamp" registration. SFDA's medical device review process is very rigorous and simple mistakes can delay your device approval.

In this article, we will cover important aspects of the SFDA regulatory process, including the regulatory history, framework, and registration process, with links to regulations and guidance documents. We will also answer your biggest questions about how to proceed with the SFDA submission process, including:

  • Do we need in-country representation?
  • How can product grouping simply our registration process?
  • How do we select our device's reference country?
  • How does the SFDA classify medical devices?
  • What materials should we include in the registration dossier?

We will discuss all this and much more in this 10-page white paper.
