Overview — Overview
Overview
Medical devices are classified into 1 of 4 classes, where Class I represents the lowest risk and Class IV represents the highest risk. Class II, III and IV medical devices must be licensed or authorized under Part 1.1 of the Regulations before they may be imported or sold in Canada. A medical device licence is issued to the device manufacturer for each application submitted, provided the requirements of the Medical Devices Regulations are met. Manufacturers must apply for an amended medical device licence when certain changes are made to a licensed Class II, III, or IV medical device.
Policy objective
This guidance provides information to manufacturers and regulatory correspondents on how to complete the forms for a new medical device licence, or an amendment to an existing medical device licence, for Class II, III, or IV medical devices.
Scope and application
This guidance applies to applications submitted for new medical device licences and amendments to existing device licences for Class II, III and IV medical devices. For information on preparing applications to be submitted under Part 1.1 of the Regulations, please refer to the Guidance on Medical devices for an urgent public health need.
Note about guidance documents in general
Guidance documents provide assistance to industry and health care professionals on how to comply with governing statutes and regulations. They also provide guidance to Health Canada staff on how mandates and objectives should be met fairly, consistently and effectively. Guidance documents are administrative, not legal, instruments. This means that flexibility can be applied by industry. However, to be acceptable, alternate approaches to the principles and practices described in this document must be supported by adequate justification. They should be discussed in advance with the relevant program area to avoid the possible finding that applicable statutory or regulatory requirements have not been met. As always, Health Canada reserves the right to request information or material, or define conditions not specifically described in this document, to help us adequately assess the safety, efficacy or quality of a therapeutic product. We must make sure that such requests are justifiable and that decisions are clearly documented. This document should be read in conjunction with the relevant sections of other applicable guidance documents.

Note: A single device ID may encompass several device identifiers. Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP): A chemical additive that is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) soft, flexible and kink-resistant. PVC plasticized with DEHP is currently used in a variety of medical devices, including blood bags, catheters, intravenous tubing and medical gloves. A medical device is considered to contain DEHP if the amount of DEHP in the device is more than or equal to 0.1% of the device’s mass (that is, ≥0.1% w/w). Please see Appendix 2, Table 2 for the chemical identity of DEHP, including its Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) registry number, synonyms and known trade names. Medical device: A device within the meaning of the Act, but does not include any device that is intended for use in relation to animals. Identifier: A unique series of letters or numbers (or any combination of these) or a bar code that is assigned to a medical device by the manufacturer and that identifies it and distinguishes it from similar devices. Note: Examples of an identifier for a device are a catalogue, model, part number or software version. Licence application type: The application may be submitted as a single device, system, test kit, device group, device family or device group family. The term “test kit” applies only to in vitro diagnostic devices. For more information on licence application types, refer to the guidance for determining medical device application type. Manufacturer: A person who: sells the medical device under their own name, or under a trademark, design, trade name or other name or mark owned or controlled by the person and is responsible for designing, manufacturing, assembling, processing, labelling, packaging, refurbishing or modifying the device, or for assigning to it a purpose These tasks may be performed by that person or on their behalf. “Person” includes a partnership, firm or association. Near patient in vitro diagnostic device (IVDD): Is intended for use outside a laboratory, for testing at home or at the point-of-care, such as a pharmacy, a health care professional’s office or the bedside. Regulatory activity (or application): A collection of all regulatory transactions throughout the process of a specific activity. Regulatory transaction: Filing of any information package sent by a company as part of a regulatory activity such as initial data, unsolicited and solicited data (e.g. initial package for a new licence application, response to a clarification request, etc.). This does not include company name and/or address change, manufacturing facility change or transfer of ownership transactions.

When a new medical device licence is required
Under the Medical Devices Regulations, a new device licence is a pre-market requirement for: • any new Class II, III, or IV device that was imported or sold in Canada after July 1, 1998 unless the device is authorized under Part 1.1 of the Regulations • a licensed device whose licence type is being modified from the type in the original licence application (see the guidance for determining medical device application type) • a device previously authorized for sale for investigational testing, or under the special access provisions of the Regulations, that is now to be offered for general sale
When a medical device licence amendment is required
As per Section 34 of the Regulations, if a manufacturer proposes to make one or more of the following changes, the manufacturer shall submit an application for a medical device licence amendment including the information and documents set out in section 32 that are relevant to the change: • (a) in the case of a Class III or IV medical device, a significant change; • (b) a change that would affect the class of the device; • (c) a change in the name of the manufacturer; • (d) a change in the name of the device; • (e) a change in the identifier of the device, including the identifier of any medical device that is part of a system, test kit, medical device group, medical device family or medical device group family; • (f) in the case of a Class II medical device other than a decorative contact lens, a change in the medical conditions, purposes or uses for which the device is manufactured, sold or represented. (a) Significant Change (Class III or IV) A significant change to a Class III or IV medical device requires an amendment to your medical device licence or Part 1.1 authorization. A significant change is any modification that could impact the safety, effectiveness, or quality of the device. Examples include: • Changes to design, materials, software, or sterilization • Modifications to manufacturing processes or facilities Please refer to the significant changes guidance document for information on how to interpret “significant change” of a medical device, this will help you determine whether a change proposed to a Class III or IV medical device is significant. (b) Change in Device Class A change that would affect the class of the device requires an amendment to your medical device licence. (c) Change in Manufacturer’s Name or Address A change in the name or address of the manufacturer requires an amendment to the medical device licence. Note that the term “manufacturer” is synonymous with the business or corporate entity who owns the trade name of the device licence. Only 1 manufacturer can own the trade name for a device licence in Canada. Once a change to the manufacturer’s name is processed, the previous manufacturer must stop selling all devices in Canada for which the ownership has been changed. (d) Change in Device Name A change in the name of the device requires an amendment. (e) Change in Device Identifier A change in the identifier of the device, including the identifier of any medical device that is part of a system, test kit, medical device group, medical device family or medical device group family, requires an amendment. (f) Change in Medical Conditions, Purposes or Uses (Class II) In the case of a Class II medical device other than a decorative contact lens, a change in the medical conditions, purposes or uses for which the device is manufactured, sold or represented requires an amendment. Common pitfalls in amendment submissions • Submitting incomplete documentation • Misclassifying changes (e.g. treating a significant change as minor) • Failing to assess cumulative impact of multiple changes When in doubt, consult Health Canada early in the process by submitting an email to meddevices-instrumentsmed@hc-sc.gc.ca.
Applying for a medical device licence or medical device licence amendment
Device classification The rules to classify medical devices are outlined in Schedule 1 (Parts 1 and 2) of the Regulations. Part 1 of Schedule 1 addresses medical devices other than in vitro diagnostics. Part 2 addresses in vitro diagnostic devices.
