About this listen

In this episode of ASEAN MedTech Insights, we dissect a game-changing regulatory update from Malaysia. The Medical Device Authority (MDA) has expanded its reliance program, now officially recognizing approvals from Singapore's HSA and Thailand's FDA. This creates an unprecedented "fast-track" for device registration, but navigating it requires precision. We explore what this regulatory bridge means for companies inside and outside of ASEAN. We break down the opportunities for faster market access and also the hidden complexities that could still delay your launch. We look at the case of a Thai diagnostics manufacturer and how this change directly impacts their expansion strategy, highlighting the critical difference between a standard submission and a streamlined verification pathway. Key Questions Answered in This Episode: - What are the precise requirements for using the new Malaysia verification pathway with a Singaporean or Thai approval? - How does this change affect registration timelines and costs for Class B and C devices? - Is the verification pathway available for all device types, including software as a medical device (SaMD)? - What are the most common documentation gaps that could lead to rejection even with a recognized prior approval? - How does this policy shift position Malaysia within the broader ASEAN MedTech landscape? - What are the mandatory post-market surveillance responsibilities you must fulfill in Malaysia, even after an accelerated approval?
