Medical device registration in Peru

Medical Device Registration in Peru

Medical device registration in Peru requires compliance with the sanitary and regulatory requirements applicable to each product.

At IzzoMed, we provide medical device regulatory consulting in Peru, including DIGEMID medical device registration guidance and product-specific regulatory assessment for manufacturers seeking to register medical devices in Peru, from initial product and documentation assessment through management of the applicable procedure before DIGEMID.

For an overview of the Peruvian regulatory authority, see our DIGEMID Peru guide.

Our medical device registration service in Peru includes regulatory requirements assessment, documentation review and management of the applicable registration procedure.

We work with international and local manufacturers seeking to introduce medical devices into the Peruvian market.

Medical Device Registration & Regulatory Consulting in Peru

We tailor each project to the device characteristics, available documentation and the manufacturer’s market-entry requirements in Peru.

Regulatory Assessment

We assess the medical device and available documentation to identify applicable regulatory requirements and determine the appropriate registration pathway.

Documentation Review

We review available technical and administrative documentation to identify gaps, inconsistencies or missing documents before the registration procedure begins.

Medical Device Regulatory Strategy

Our medical device regulatory consulting approach defines the appropriate strategy based on product classification, intended use, documentation and applicable DIGEMID requirements.

Dossier Preparation & Submission

We support dossier preparation and management of the applicable submission before the Peruvian health authority.

Local Representation

We provide local representation and regulatory support in Peru for international manufacturers that require a local partner to manage regulatory activities. Manufacturers of in vitro diagnostics can also review our dedicated IVD Registration in Peru service. Manufacturers seeking independent local regulatory representation can review our Peru Registration Holder service.

Regulatory Follow-up

We monitor the regulatory process and coordinate responses to actions or requirements issued during the applicable procedure.

Medical Device Registration in Peru: Requirements and Documentation

A medical device registration in Peru project should begin with confirmation of the device classification, intended use, manufacturer information and documentation available for the Peruvian submission. The exact dossier depends on the product characteristics and applicable regulatory pathway.

For international manufacturers, a pre-submission review is useful because certificates, technical documents, labeling and instructions prepared for another market may need to be aligned with local requirements. Reviewing these elements before filing can identify gaps early and reduce avoidable regulatory observations.

Manufacturer and product identification documents.
Technical specifications and intended-use information.
Quality-system and manufacturing documentation, when applicable.
Labeling and instructions for use applicable to the product.
Safety, performance or supporting technical evidence, as applicable.
Administrative documents required for the selected procedure.

Because requirements can vary by device and procedure, the dossier should be assessed product by product rather than relying on a generic checklist.

Medical Device Risk Classification in Peru: Classes I, II, III and IV

Medical device registration in Peru follows a risk-based approach. Devices may be classified as Class I, II, III or IV according to the applicable regulatory criteria. Intended purpose, duration of use, invasiveness, active characteristics and other product attributes can influence the applicable class and supporting documentation. A manufacturer’s classification in another jurisdiction should not be assumed to apply automatically in Peru.

IzzoMed reviews the manufacturer’s product information before submission to help determine the appropriate pathway and organize the supporting dossier. For broader information about the national authority, manufacturers can consult our DIGEMID Peru regulatory guide.

What Types of Medical Devices Do We Support?

We work with different categories of medical devices subject to health regulation in Peru.

Examples of projects we can assess include:

Medical equipment and devices.
Devices used for diagnosis and treatment.
Electromedical equipment.
Sterile medical devices.
Single-use medical devices.
Devices used in surgical procedures.
Specialized medical products and technologies.

Each medical device requires an individual assessment, as requirements may vary according to its characteristics, intended use, documentation and commercialization conditions.

Medical Device Registration with DIGEMID: Steps and Regulatory Support

Medical device registration in Peru is managed under the requirements of DIGEMID, the Peruvian regulatory authority, and the applicable pathway depends on the device characteristics and classification.

Before starting a registration procedure, we recommend a regulatory assessment of the product to identify available documentation, applicable requirements and potential gaps.

This assessment helps define the appropriate regulatory strategy and prepare the project before submission.

Medical Device Registration in Peru for International Manufacturers

For an international manufacturer, entering Peru requires understanding local requirements and having an appropriate local structure to manage the product in the country.

At IzzoMed, we work with international manufacturers seeking to introduce their medical devices in Peru. The registration timeline depends on the risk classification, the quality and completeness of the dossier, and the authority’s review. We assess realistic milestones for each project rather than promising a fixed approval date.

We can support manufacturers from the initial product assessment and documentation review through local representation, regulatory management and coordination of services required for market entry and commercialization.

Our goal is to provide manufacturers with a reliable local platform for their regulatory activities in Peru.

Our Regulatory Process

Assess

We assess the device, manufacturer, intended use and available documentation.

Identify

We identify the regulatory requirements and the aspects that must be addressed before starting the procedure.

Plan

We define the regulatory strategy and the steps required to advance the project.

Manage

We support preparation and management of the applicable regulatory procedure.

Support

We provide support throughout the procedure and, when applicable, after registration is obtained.

Beyond Regulatory Registration

Entering the Peruvian medical device market involves more than completing the regulatory procedure.

Depending on project requirements, our regulatory services can be complemented with importation and compliant storage coordination and identification and evaluation of potential distributors. Commercial distribution agreements remain separate from regulatory representation.

This allows manufacturers to assess regulatory, operational and commercial requirements as part of an integrated market-entry strategy.

Medical Device Registration in Peru: Frequently Asked Questions

For manufacturers preparing a DIGEMID medical device registration, the initial review should confirm intended use, risk classification, model and accessory scope, manufacturer identification, technical documentation, applicable quality certificates, labeling and instructions for use. The evidence and document formalities depend on the device and the relevant regulatory procedure. IzzoMed can review a manufacturer’s dossier before filing and coordinate the local registration strategy. Contact our regulatory team to request a product-specific assessment.

Local Registration Holder and Market Entry Support in Peru

International medical device manufacturers may need a qualified local registration holder to manage regulatory responsibilities before DIGEMID. IzzoMed provides local representation and registration support, with regulatory responsibilities and commercial distribution arrangements defined separately according to the project.

Beyond medical device registration in Peru, we can help manufacturers identify and evaluate potential distributors without requiring exclusive distribution rights. Our approach supports market entry planning while allowing manufacturers to retain control of their commercial strategy.
