Post-Market Overview & Ongoing Obligations

What post-market obligations apply?​

Once a device is on the Brazilian market, the registration holder and other economic operators have ongoing obligations. These fall into five main areas:

NOTIVISA — Brazil's post-market surveillance hub​

ANVISA's NOTIVISA system is the central platform for adverse event and technical complaint reporting. All manufacturers, importers, distributors and healthcare facilities must be registered on NOTIVISA.

Changes to registered devices​

After registration, any change that affects safety, performance, intended use, or labelling must be managed through a Petição de Alteração — see Post-Registration Changes.
