In this episode of MENA MedTech Insights, we dissect the UAE's transformative Cabinet Decision No. 58 of 2022. This new regulation is a critical hurdle for any MedTech or IVD company looking to enter or remain in this key Middle Eastern market. We provide a clear, actionable breakdown of the most significant changes you need to be aware of.
We explore the three core pillars of the new legislation: the mandatory implementation of the Unique Device Identification (UDI) system, the heightened requirements for proactive Post-Market Surveillance (PMS), and the expanded legal responsibilities of the in-country Authorized Representative. We go beyond the theory to discuss the real-world operational impact these changes have on manufacturers, from labeling and data submission to clinical data collection.
A European manufacturer with a CE-marked device thought entering the UAE would be straightforward. They were wrong. The new UDI requirements and stringent post-market surveillance rules under Cabinet Decision No. 58 created unexpected six-month delays and significant costs when their technical file was rejected for non-compliance. Find out how you can avoid their critical mistakes and streamline your path to market.
