Further to the pilot run on the procurement of medical devices (MDs) conducted earlier by the Department of Health (DH), DH has adopted a new strategy on the procurement of MDs starting from 21 June 2023. Under the strategy, DH will give preference to MDs listed under the Medical Device Administrative Control System (MDACS) in the procurement of all applicable MDs*.
The new strategy will help to intrinsically ensure that the MDs being purchased by DH will meet the safety, quality and performance requirements comparable to international standard. Furthermore, the safety alert monitoring mechanism and the Medical Device Adverse Event Reporting System of Medical Device Division (MDD) also provide additional protection to the public health.
Traders who are interested in submitting bid/ quotation/ tender for the supply of MDs to DH Services are encouraged to apply their Class II/III/IV general MDs or Class B/C/D in-vitro diagnostic MDs for listing under the MDACS as soon as possible. Application form and guidance notes for listing under MDACS are available on MDD website here.
For details of the new requirement and related resources, please refer to attached document.
