Are you aware that Manufacturers of medical devices gain access to the Israeli medical device market by registering their device with AMAR, the Israeli Ministry of Health’s medical device regulation unit?

Medical device registration in Israel is based having prior approval in one of the five founding Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) countries: Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, or the United States. Manufacturers that have already obtained approval for their devices in those markets can leverage those registrations to satisfy most of Israel’s medical device regulatory approval requirements: required documents for medical device registration in Israel include proof of Quality Management System certification.
