The regulation of Class I medical devices has been done through the cadastro process. Under the new Resolution, the lowest risk products will be regulated through notification as a simplified system in which there will be no prior technical analysis of the petitions. The publication of the notification is expected within 30 days following the notification’s application and the payment of the ANVISA fee. Only after the granting of the notification number can the product be industrialized or commercialized.
