Medical Equipment Law (Amendment No. 2 and Temporary Provision) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק ציוד רפואי (תיקון מס' 2 והוראת שעה)

TL;DRThe amendment expands the conditions for registering medical equipment in the register, so that it will be possible to register medical equipment that is registered or approved in other recognized countries, including outside the European Union.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends Section 6 of the Medical Equipment Law, 5772-2012. The proposed arrangement allows registering in the register medical equipment that is registered or approved for marketing in a recognized country (including countries that are not in the European Union), even if not all the conditions listed in Section 6(a) of the law are met. The proposal sets a temporary provision valid until the end of May 2024, during which the proposal will apply only to equipment that is actually registered or approved in a recognized country.
