In Japan, pharmaceuticals and medical devices are controlled by the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Agency (PMDA) and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). The PMDA is an independent agency that works closely with the MHLW to assess the safety and efficiency of medical products. Japan uses a risk-based classification system to categorize medical devices into four classes based on the associated risk (i.e. Class I – lowest potential risk; Class IV – highest potential risk).
In November 2014, the Japanese pharmaceutical and medical device market experienced major changes due to replacement of the Japanese Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (JPAL) with the new Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act (PMD Act). The PMD Act upsets main areas of medical device regulations, including quality management system compliance, device registration, the regulation of medical software, and third-party certifications. In order to market medical devices in Japan, manufacturers must be compliant with the current PMD Act.
The program examines the revised medical device legislative framework on medical devices, followed by a detailed explanation on the Quality Management System (J-QMS) requirements placed on foreign manufacturers vide Ministerial Ordinance 169/2004 (amended by Ministerial Ordinance 87, issued on July 30, 2014) launched as of November 25, 2014 and Ordinance 2 under the JPMDL (Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Law).
Participants will gain the knowledge needed to effectively manage changes under the amended J-QMS Ordinance and learn how to apply these changes to achieve & maintain compliance with JPMDL requirements.
