inspection of dealers or rental agencies by inspection agencies designated by MFDS Korea
In the past, when purchasing a medical device from medical institutions, the medical device dealers or rental agencies, were required to obtain qualifying inspection from the manufacturer or importer of the said medical devices regarding the manufacturing and quality control standards of the corresponding medical devices before the sale or rental. The regulation relating to the inspection of medical devices have been alleviated hereon to allow the inspection as well by the medical device inspection agencies that Minister of Food and Drug Safety may designate.
