This week on ASEAN MedTech Insights, we're diving into the urgent regulatory crisis hitting the in-vitro diagnostics sector in Vietnam. A new government decree, now in full force, is causing major disruptions for foreign manufacturers who were once comfortable in the market. We uncover why the old rules no longer apply and what specific documentation hurdles are leading to rejected submissions and potential market lockout.
Imagine your best-selling diagnostic product being barred from a market of 100 million people overnight. This is the reality facing some IVD companies in Vietnam. We break down the case of a Class C diagnostic device and the specific clinical data and labeling requirements under the new decree that are tripping up even experienced manufacturers.
What You'll Learn:
- What is the single biggest documentation gap foreign IVD companies are facing with Vietnam's new decree?
- Why is your ISO 13485 certificate suddenly not enough for the Vietnamese authorities?
- How can you leverage the ASEAN CSDT framework to your advantage for a Vietnamese submission?
- What are the critical responsibilities of a local authorized representative in Vietnam?
- Are there any exemptions or grace periods still available for certain IVD products?
