Malaysia MDA medical device regulatory consultant diagnostic IVD

Medical Devices in Malaysia are regulated by the Malaysian Medical Device Authority (MDA). All medical devices must be registered with the MDA before they can be sold in Malaysia. Since 2016, the MDA has mandated foreign manufacturers to register their medical devices under the Medical Device Act. It is also mandatory for manufacturers to obtain certification from Conformity Assessment Body (CBA) in order to receive approval from the MDA.
