Medical Device Registration in Peru

Overview of Peru's medical device registration process

Commercializing your medical device for sale in Peru requires registration with DIGEMID (Dirección General de Medicamentos, Insumos y Drogas), the country’s medical device regulator.

Medical device and IVD classification is determined by a rule-based system according to risk (Classes I, II, III, and IV). The classification rules are derived from the Global Harmonization Task Force guidance and are very similar to those set forth in the European Directive 93/42/EEC, Annex IX.
