Overview
GRP Mexico can help you obtain COFEPRIS medical device registration and approval to sell your product on the Mexican market.
Introduction
GRP in Mexico helps your company obtain medical device registration in Mexico. If your company does not have an office in Mexico, you must designate the owner of the registration as the representative of your country. The registrar is responsible for the coordination, submission, and management of the registration of medical devices in COFEPRIS, the Department of Control of Medical Devices of the Mexican Ministry of Health. MRH also checks your registration and should be chosen very carefully.
Importance of Independent COFEPRIS Registration in Mexico:
Medical device companies entering the Mexican market rely on distributors who coordinate the registration and approval of their devices and act as registration holders. Although this seems convenient, changing or adding distributors can be very difficult because your distributor is now actually the owner of your registration.
For a possible change of distributor, the new distributor will need permission from the current distributor (your registrar) to import the equipment. If the previous distributor does not cooperate, you will need to re-register the device if you want to appoint a different registrant.
Clarifications for Medical Device Registration Holders in Mexico:
- COFEPRIS allows the registry holder to add multiple distributors to the registry.
- GRP Mexico will submit the registration as the primary holder/controller and will add your distributors to the registration allowing them to market your products, but without control or access to your confidential information.
- You can include as many distributors as you like in your initial registration. GRP MX can make the necessary changes to the registration to include new distributors at any time.
- Approved distributors can import directly without the ongoing involvement of Global Regulatory Partners, so the holder can maintain control of their approval and maintain a direct business relationship with their distributors.
- Local registration holders can be transferred in Mexico, provided that the original holder agrees and signs a transfer of rights contract with the new holder, before a notary, stating that they will give up the registration, along with a copy of the Registration Certificate and any modifications made after approval.
- The previous registration holder must also provide a complete copy of the technical dossier sent to COFEPRIS.

Medical Device Future in Mexico
Global Regulatory Partners Mexico believes that this guidance is intended to align COFEPRIS reviewers and set user expectations. In addition, it seems that truly administrative modifications are intended to be reviewed more quickly. Minor and moderate modifications to the registrations of allopathic, herbal and homeopathic medicines will be approved immediately as of August 28, 2023, so we hope that this represents a step towards immediate approvals for administrative modifications of medical products in the near future, too.
