INTRODUCTION
Objective •Product registration applications for medical devices submitted to HSA may be prepared in the format set out in the ASEAN Common Submission Dossier Template (CSDT) or the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) In Vitro Diagnostic Device Market Authorisation Table of Contents (IVD MA ToC). •This document aims to provide guidance on the preparation of a product registration submission for general medical devices using the ASEAN CSDT. In particular, this document serves to provide a summary of the information to be submitted under each section of the ASEAN CSDT. For detailed technical information to be provided under each section of the dossier, please refer toTR- 02: Contents of a Product Registration Submission for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices using the ASEAN CSDT. •This document should also be read in conjunction with the ASEAN CSDT document, Product Registration Submission Guide for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices,GN-15: Guidance to Medical Device Product Registration and other relevant guidance documents as specified in this document. •The ASEAN CSDT document contains elements of the Global Harmonisation Task Force (GHTF) guidance document titled “Summary Technical Documentation for Demonstrating Conformity to the Essential Principles of Safety and Performance of Medical Devices (STED)” (Document number: SG1/N011R17), and the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) Non-In Vitro Diagnostic Device Market Authorisation Table of Contents (nIVD MA ToC). •The ASEAN CSDT document is intended to provide a common template for the submission of medical device information to medical device regulatory authorities of ASEAN member countries. •R4► When preparing a ASEAN CSDT or IMDRF ToC-based submission to HSA via our online Singapore Health Product Access and Regulatory E-System (SHARE) platform, please refer to Product Registration Submission Guide for In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices for guidance on uploading of the relevant CSDT or ToC dossier sections to the appropriate folders in SHARE. ◄ •.
