Israel's Gatekeeper: Mastering the Role of the IRH for MedTech Success

Navigating the Israeli medical device market requires a deep understanding of its unique regulatory landscape. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the Israel Registration Holder (IRH), a mandatory in-country representative for foreign manufacturers. We explore the IRH's crucial role in liaising with the AMAR (Ministry of Health), their extensive responsibilities from registration to post-market surveillance, and the strategic advantages of appointing an independent holder over a distributor. We also touch on the 2024 regulatory reforms that have streamlined market access. • What is an Israel Registration Holder (IRH) and why is it mandatory? • Who is the regulatory authority for medical devices in Israel? • What are the core responsibilities of an IRH? • Should you appoint your distributor as your IRH? • What are the risks of tying your registration to a commercial partner? • How does an independent IRH protect your intellectual property and market control? • What key qualifications must an IRH possess, such as ISO 9001 certification? • How have the 2024 registration reforms impacted market entry strategy?
