2. Application Submission: Submit a completed application form along with required documents, including technical specifications, labeling, and evidence of regulatory approval in the country of origin (if applicable).
3. Technical Review: KeMDA conducts a technical review of the application to assess the safety, quality, and efficacy of the medical device.
4. Inspection: KeMDA may conduct an inspection of the manufacturing facilities to ensure compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
5. Laboratory Testing: Samples of the medical device may be required for laboratory testing to verify compliance with relevant standards.
6. Registration Certificate: If the application is successful, KeMDA issues a registration certificate allowing the medical device to be marketed and distributed in Kenya.
