This video breaks down the full process for registering a medical device in Brazil with ANVISA, including classification, technical documentation, local representation, and post-market surveillance. With Brazil’s healthcare market rapidly expanding and over half of all devices imported, understanding regulatory requirements is key to unlocking growth. Learn what it takes to achieve and maintain compliance in one of Latin America’s most important medtech markets.
This video offers a practical, high-level walkthrough of the ANVISA medical device registration process in Brazil, including how to classify your device, prepare documentation, appoint a local representative, and navigate post-market requirements. Whether you’re expanding across Latin America or targeting Brazil specifically, this guide provides the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
As Latin America’s largest economy and one of the world’s top 10 healthcare markets, Brazil represents a critical opportunity for medical device manufacturers. With a population of 214 million, a universal healthcare system, and more than 50% of devices imported, demand is both deep and sustained. The medical device market is projected to reach $7.3 billion by 2028, while the smart-device segment alone is growing at 11.1% CAGR. But while the opportunity is clear, the regulatory pathway is complex and compliance with ANVISA requirements is non-negotiable.
Before a device can be marketed in Brazil, manufacturers must navigate ANVISA’s four-tier risk classification system (Class I–IV), submit a detailed technical dossier, and in many cases, undergo Brazil GMP (B-GMP) inspections. Additional certifications may be required through INMETRO (for electrical safety) or ANATEL (for wireless technologies). Post-market surveillance and vigilance are also tightly regulated and must be built into your compliance strategy from the beginning.
