About this regulation

Medical-device minor-change notification procedures — MHLW notice of 31 July 2017

Complete 14-page official notice and attached examples, dated 31 July 2017. It clarifies partial-change approval versus minor-change notification for medical devices. Page 2 states that the 23 October 2008 notification’s Annex 1 examples continue to qualify for minor-change notification and that its Annex 2 is not changed by this notification. No blanket rescission is inferred. Date is the printed notice date, not a proven portal publication or commencement date. This is medical-device guidance; industry-association addressees do not extend its substantive scope to IVD. Source images govern; native text is a qualified and potentially incomplete search layer. Legal currentness is unverified.
