Assistance for medical device registration, marketing authorization, CDAKB certification, and regulatory compliance in Indonesia.
Medical devices are instruments, machines, equipment, implants, reagents, software, or other products intended for diagnosing, preventing, monitoring, treating, or rehabilitating medical conditions. Medical devices cover a wide range of products, from simple devices such as thermometers and blood pressure monitors to advanced technologies including ventilators, patient monitoring systems, radiology equipment, laboratory instruments, and surgical devices.
As Indonesia’s healthcare sector continues to expand, the demand for medical devices is increasing across hospitals, clinics, laboratories, healthcare centers, pharmacies, and other medical facilities. These products play a critical role in supporting healthcare services and improving patient outcomes.
Because medical devices directly affect patient safety and public health, their distribution and commercialization in Indonesia are strictly regulated by the government. Manufacturers, importers, and distributors must comply with applicable regulatory requirements before products can be legally marketed and used.
Why Are Medical Device Consulting Services Important?
Navigating medical device regulations can be challenging for many businesses. Regulatory requirements often involve complex procedures, technical documentation, product classification assessments, licensing applications, and compliance obligations that must be fulfilled before a product enters the market.
Medical device consulting services help businesses understand these requirements and manage the licensing process more effectively. Professional consultants provide guidance throughout the registration process, helping companies avoid administrative errors, reduce approval delays, and ensure compliance with current regulations.
By working with experienced consultants, businesses can focus on their core operations while ensuring that their products meet Indonesian regulatory standards.
Medical Device Regulations in Indonesia
The regulation of medical devices in Indonesia is governed by several laws and regulatory frameworks issued by the government and the Ministry of Health.
The primary regulations generally include:
- Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health.
- Ministry of Health regulations related to medical devices and healthcare products.
- Marketing authorization requirements for medical devices.
- Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices (CDAKB).
- Risk-Based Business Licensing requirements through the OSS-RBA system.
These regulations are designed to ensure that medical devices distributed in Indonesia meet established standards of safety, quality, and effectiveness.
Services Included in Medical Device Consulting
Medical Device Registration
Before a medical device can be legally marketed in Indonesia, it must undergo the appropriate registration process based on its classification and risk level.
The registration process typically involves reviewing administrative documents, technical specifications, product performance data, safety information, and supporting certifications. Consulting services help companies prepare complete documentation and facilitate regulatory submissions.
Medical Device Marketing Authorization
Marketing authorization is one of the most important requirements for legally distributing medical devices in Indonesia. Products without valid authorization may not be sold or distributed in the market.
Medical device consultants assist companies in preparing the required documentation, reviewing compliance requirements, and managing the submission process until approval is obtained.
CDAKB Certification Assistance
Medical device distributors are required to implement Good Distribution Practice for Medical Devices (CDAKB). This certification demonstrates that a company has established systems and procedures to maintain product quality and safety throughout storage and distribution activities.
CDAKB implementation typically includes warehouse management, quality control procedures, personnel competency requirements, documentation systems, and product traceability measures.
OSS-RBA Licensing Support
Businesses operating in the medical device sector must also ensure that their business licenses comply with Indonesia’s Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach (OSS-RBA) system.
Consulting services can assist companies with business registration, business classification adjustments, licensing applications, and compliance obligations related to medical device operations.
Medical Device Registration Process
Medical device licensing and registration generally involve several important stages.
1. Product Classification Assessment
The first step is determining the product category, risk classification, and applicable regulatory requirements. Different categories of medical devices are subject to different registration procedures and documentation requirements.
2. Documentation Preparation
Companies must prepare corporate legal documents, product specifications, quality certificates, technical files, and other supporting documents required for registration.
3. Regulatory Submission
After the documentation has been completed, the registration application is submitted through the relevant regulatory system for review.
4. Evaluation and Verification
Regulatory authorities evaluate both administrative and technical documents to determine whether the product complies with applicable requirements.
5. Approval Issuance
If all requirements are successfully fulfilled, the company may receive the necessary authorization allowing the product to be legally marketed and distributed in Indonesia.

Many businesses encounter difficulties during the licensing and registration process.
Some common challenges include:
