Introduction
Medical device classification with the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is vital for ensuring patient safety, achieving Regulatory compliance, and determining registration requirements. The classification is risk-based, with four (04) types (Class I, IIa, IIb, and III), and is overseen by MOHAP’s Registration and Drug Control Department. It ensures compliance, streamlines registration, and safeguards public health.
