Executive Summary
Brazil is awaiting final approval of an ambitious update of its two-decade-old regulations on the reuse and reprocessing of medical devices and equipment. A resolution developed by the national healthcare surveillance agency, Anvisa, sets out 84 groups of products that would be declared single-use, while reprocessing and re-use would be subject to far stricter controls. The new law will affect the registration, labelling and reprocessing of medical devices.
