I will class a nsnm medical device with cdsco


About this gig
Class A NSNM devices are the lowest risk category under the Medical Devices Rules 2017 but that doesn't mean you can skip registration. If you're manufacturing or importing a non-sterile, non-measuring Class A device in India, CDSCO registration is mandatory before you place it in the market.
The process is lighter than higher-risk classes but still needs to be done right. Wrong classification, mismatched product descriptions, or missing manufacturer details are enough to get your application flagged and what looks like a simple registration can sit unresolved for weeks because of a paperwork gap that should have been caught before filing.
I handle the full thing confirming your device falls under NSNM, preparing the documentation, and filing on the CDSCO portal. No back-and-forth, no surprises mid-application.
If you're not sure whether your device qualifies as Class A NSNM, message me with the product details and I'll tell you straight.

FAQ
What exactly is an NSNM device?
NSNM stands for non-sterile and non-measuring. These are Class A medical devices — the lowest risk category under MDR 2017 — that don't need to be sterile for their intended use and don't measure a biological parameter. Think basic bandages, examination gloves, simple surgical instruments.
How do I know if my device is Class A NSNM?
If you're not certain, don't guess. Send me your product name and intended use before ordering and I'll confirm the classification. Filing under the wrong class wastes time and money.
Is registration mandatory even for Class A?
Yes. CDSCO registration is required for all medical devices being manufactured or imported in India, including Class A. The exemption some businesses assume exists does not.
I've already been selling this device without registration. What now?
This is more common than you'd think. The process to regularize is essentially the same — file the registration now. Message me and we'll sort it out without unnecessary alarm.
