Brazil's RDC 751 Maze: Pure Global on MedTech Registration's Hidden Traps

Brazil's medical device market has undergone its most significant regulatory overhaul in two decades with the full implementation of RDC 751/2022. This new framework replaces the long-standing RDC 185/2001, introducing a new risk classification system and technical documentation structure that aligns more closely with global standards like the EU MDR. While this harmonization presents long-term benefits, the immediate transition creates critical challenges for MedTech manufacturers. Companies must now navigate new submission pathways, restructure their technical dossiers to meet IMDRF standards, and ensure their labeling and post-market activities are fully compliant, facing risks of rejection and market access delays if unprepared. A US-based scaleup, planning a routine renewal for their Class II device in Brazil, recently discovered their existing technical file was obsolete under RDC 751. They are now facing a complete dossier overhaul and the risk of a gap in their market authorization, jeopardizing a key distribution contract and threatening their revenue stream in the region.
