The clearance pathway

One team, the whole climb — from first registration to FDA clearance.

Most consultancies sell one step and hand you off. We designed the practice around the full pathway, because the dossier you build at step one decides how expensive step five becomes. Every engagement starts by placing you on it.

  1. MY · MDA · Act 737

    Register with the MDA

    Classification, CSDT dossier and MeDC@St submission — your device on the Malaysian market.

  2. GDPMD · Establishment Licence

    Get licensed to trade

    GDPMD certification and the establishment licence every importer, distributor or AR must hold.

  3. ISO 13485

    Build a manufacturer-grade QMS

    The quality system that becomes the backbone of every export approval that follows.

  4. MDSAP

    One audit, five markets

    A single audit accepted in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia and Japan.

  5. CE · EU MDR · FDA 510(k)

    Clear the export markets

    The same dossier core carried into EU MDR technical files and US 510(k) submissions.

Device classes · A–D

How much does MDA registration cost by device class?

The MDA classifies devices A–D by risk. Class A is a notification; Class B–D need conformity assessment by a registered CAB before MDA review — reflected in the all-inclusive fee and timeline below.

All fees all-inclusive (CAB + MDA fees inside). Timelines are typical for submissions we prepare; documentation gaps on the manufacturer side are the main variable. See the full pricing schedule.

We hold our own MDA establishment licence and run the same GDPMD system we build for clients — we hold what we help you get.

About the practice
Compliance is not a one-off

Registrations expire. Certificates lapse. We keep score so you don’t.

GDPMD and ISO 13485 renew yearly, the establishment licence every 3 years, each product registration every 5 — all published, all-inclusive. Add the authorized representative and post-market surveillance retainers, and nothing on your licence portfolio ever quietly expires. Prefer smooth cash flow? Register from RM1,500/month on a payment plan.

  • A renewal calendar for every registration and certificate we hold for you
  • GDPMD annual surveillance-audit preparation
  • Complaint, vigilance and recall handling on retainer
  • One consultant who already knows your file — no re-onboarding

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to register my medical device in Malaysia?
Yes. Under the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737), a medical device must be registered with the Medical Device Authority (MDA) before it can be imported, exported or placed on the Malaysian market, and the business handling it must hold an establishment license. We manage both, end to end.
What does a medical device consultant cost in Malaysia?
Our prices are published and all-inclusive (CAB and MDA fees inside): device registration RM2,500 (Class A), RM6,000 (Class B), RM9,800 (Class C) per device; establishment license packages RM18,000 (Importer + Distributor) or RM25,000 (with Authorised Representative); GDPMD alone RM10,000. Payment plans from RM1,500/month. See the pricing page for the full three-step schedule.
Can one firm handle MDA registration and export approvals like CE or FDA?
That is exactly how we work. The same technical documentation core we build for your MDA registration is structured to be reused for EU MDR technical files, FDA 510(k) submissions and MDSAP audits — so each market entry costs less than starting again with a new consultant.
How long does medical device registration take in Malaysia?
Registrations we manage are typically approved within 3 months, at a 98% success rate. Class A notifications are the fastest; Class B–D registrations need conformity assessment by a registered CAB before MDA review. A gap analysis at the start gives you a realistic date before you commit.
What happens if the MDA rejects or queries the submission?
We handle MDA queries and any resubmission as part of the engagement — the 98% approval rate reflects submissions we prepare and defend end to end. The opening gap analysis surfaces documentation risks before you commit, so a rejection is the exception, not a surprise cost.
Do you work with foreign manufacturers with no Malaysian office?
Yes. A foreign manufacturer cannot register devices in Malaysia directly — Act 737 requires a locally incorporated authorized representative (AR). We act as AR on an annual retainer: we hold the registrations, maintain the establishment license and handle vigilance reporting on your behalf.

Tell us what you make and where you want to sell it.

We will map the approvals you need — and the order to get them in — before you commit to anything. A gap analysis gives you a realistic date and a fixed, published price.
