Listen "Cracking the Code of LATAM MedTech with Pure Global: A Deep Dive into Peru's Supreme Decree 016-2011-SA and its Impact on Medical Device Registration"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of LATAM MedTech Insights, we demystify the medical device registration process in Peru by taking a close look at the foundational regulation: Supreme Decree Nº 016-2011-SA. We explore how the national authority, DIGEMID, uses a risk-based classification system and what this means for your specific device.
We break down the critical requirements that often create barriers for foreign manufacturers, including the mandatory appointment of a Peruvian Registration Holder (PRH) and the specific documentation needed for your submission dossier. This episode provides essential, practical insights for any MedTech company considering Peru as their next market.
A Real-World Challenge: Imagine your company has a CE-marked Class III device ready for the LATAM market. You find a distributor in Peru, but your shipment is stopped at customs. Why? Because you didn't appoint a Peruvian Registration Holder (PRH) and your technical dossier wasn't submitted to DIGEMID according to the specific rules of Supreme Decree 016-2011-SA. This episode breaks down how to avoid this costly and time-consuming mistake.
