A document confirming the quality and safety of medical devices and equipment is issued after their successful registration – the Ministry of Health registration certificate. This procedure is performed in accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Health to monitor the sphere of social development and supervise the registration of medical devices (Order № 735 of 30th October, 2006).

If the Ministry of Health registration certificate has not been issued for the product and yet it requires a compulsory state registration, its implementation and application in medical practice is strictly prohibited. Violation of these requirements is illegal. The Federal Service for the Supervision of Public Health and Social Development (Roszdravnadzor) is responsible for making sure that this law is respected.
