Change Notification & Maintenance
When to Notify MDD
Notify the MDD when any significant change affects:
- The device itself (design, materials, intended purpose, manufacturing)
- Labelling or IFU
- Manufacturer name/address/ownership
- LRP identity or details
"Significant" = a change that could affect safety, performance, intended purpose, or accuracy of MDIS records.
Process
- LRP identifies change requiring notification
- Prepare change notification submission via MDIS
- Include description of change and impact assessment
- MDD reviews and may accept, request additional documentation, or require re-evaluation
Changing the LRP
- Coordinate between outgoing and incoming LRP
- Submit LRP change application via MDIS
- Incoming LRP assumes all post-market obligations on transfer
- HKMD number is typically retained for continuity
