The sphygmomanometer, commonly known as a tensimeter, is an essential medical device used globally to measure blood pressure. Its critical role in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like hypertension makes it a staple in hospitals, clinics, and even for personal use at home. If you are a manufacturer or distributor looking to import tensimeters to Indonesia, it is crucial to understand the regulatory requirements to legally market your products.
Types of Sphygmomanometers (Tensimeters)
- Manual Sphygmomanometer: Typically used with a stethoscope, this version provides an accurate reading of blood pressure manually.
- Digital Sphygmomanometer: Offers an automated solution, easier for patients and medical professionals to use without needing a stethoscope.
- Aneroid Sphygmomanometer: A manual device with a needle gauge, requiring regular calibration for accuracy.
Importance of Obtaining a Medical Device License
To ensure the safety and efficacy of medical devices like tensimeters in Indonesia, the Ministry of Health mandates obtaining a medical device license, commonly known as the Izin Edar Alat Kesehatan. This licensing process verifies that the device complies with Indonesian regulations and meets international standards for safety. Without this approval, your tensimeter cannot be legally distributed or sold in the Indonesian market.
