Brazil’s ANVISA issued a new regulation for custom-made medical devices that includes new requirements for manufacturing, marketing and importing such devices.
In line with the International Medical Device Regulators Forum, Brazil’s regulation (RDC 305/2019) makes the distinction between custom-made devices, patient-specific devices and adaptable devices.
Under the definition, custom-made devices are made specifically for individual patients and manufacturers must seek approval from ANVISA to manufacture them.
