| Arrêté n°2013-542/MS/CAB | Organisation du circuit de notification des effets indésirables des produits de santé à usage humain Complete substantive text on physical pages2–7 of a seven-page scan; physical page1 is visually blank and retained in the audit. Article1 expressly implements Decree2012-1033, whose Article2 includes medical devices and reagents. Defines notifiers, health-service notification routing and vigilance functions. Article14 requires specified research/health bodies to report relevant study events within7days for serious unexpected death/life-threatening cases,15days for other serious unexpected cases/new facts, and annual safety reports otherwise. Article15 separately addresses any enterprise or organization exploiting health products:15days serious events regardless predictability,90days unexpected nonserious events, and periodic safety reports otherwise. These actor categories and medicinal terminology are preserved as written, without converting them into a blanket duty for every device manufacturer. Signed4June2013; no latest-currentness conclusion. Later2020-160/275 expressly name different predecessor numbers543/544, not this542. | Vigilance | — | Official |
| Arrêté conjoint n°2020-156/MS/MINEFID | Arrêté conjoint portant autorisation de perception de recettes et tarification des prestations de l’ANRP Joint ministerial order signed 19 May 2020; Article 7 applies from signature. The Ministry of Health and Ministry of Economy, Finance and Development are the joint issuers; ANRP is the service beneficiary and source host. Page 4 rows 13–15 cover medical consumables and rows 16–18 laboratory reagents, with first authorization, major variation (100%), minor variation (10%) and renewal (50%) columns. No per-product or per-dossier unit is inferred for those rows, and laboratory reagents are not all presumed IVDs. General medical equipment is not expressly covered. Page 8 contains conditional import visa/special import fees and exceptions. Device/IVD applicability of clinical-trial rows is not established by this order alone. Article 5 permits tariff changes by Board deliberation; the missing 2021-0023 complementary-fees text and later amendments prevent a current-tariff claim. | Registration | — | Official |
| Arrêté n° 2017-47/MS/CAB | Liste nationale des médicaments essentiels et autres produits de santé du Burkina Faso Complete signed two-page ministerial order preserved by the national pharmacists’ union. Article 3 defines medical devices and Article 5 states that inclusion in the essential-products list does not exempt a device from marketing authorisation. The separate list annex is not contained in this PDF and is not claimed as captured. This is a historical 2017 expression; the newer 2023 technical-approval order and current consolidated requirements remain to be acquired. | General | — | Official |
| Arrêté N°2013-410/MS/CAB | Arrêté portant liste des consommables médicaux sous monopole pharmaceutique au Burkina Faso Signed four-page ministerial order dated 27 December 2013. Articles 1–3 define and list medical consumables under pharmaceutical monopoly, including two categories with 19 and 15 bullet rows. Article 6 permits holders of A1/A2 technical approvals to tender specified blood-related consumables in public procurement; Article 7 contains a transitional special-authorization provision. Article 8 expressly repeals Order 2011-050/MS/CAB. This historical repeal is recorded without inventing a catalogue target. The stamped instrument number is 2013-410, although the old official inventory and archived filename say 2013_401. The list is not a blanket classification of all IVD reagents or equipment. Article 4 provides for revisions by Health Minister order; subsequent revisions, publication and currentness remain unverified. | General | — | Official |
