The Israeli Medical Equipment Law, Key Principles

  • Mandatory Registration: Every medical device must be registered in AMAR’s central registry before production, import, or sale.
  • Public Registry: The registry is the official database of approved medical devices in Israel and is accessible to the public.
  • Enforcement and Penalties: Manufacturing, importing, or marketing unregistered devices is a criminal offense.
  • Supervision: The Minister of Health may appoint inspectors to oversee compliance, including inspections of manufacturing and storage facilities.

Main Regulations

  • Fast‑Track Registration: Devices already approved in recognized countries (e.g., U.S., U.K.) may benefit from an accelerated registration process.
  • Storage Requirements: Devices must be stored under proper conditions, such as controlled temperature.
  • Additional Requirements: Manufacturers and subcontractors must comply with ISO 13485, while importers must comply with ISO 9001, and all must hold relevant business licenses.
  • Exemption from Standards Testing: The Minister may exempt imported devices from Israeli standard testing if international compliance documents are provided.
  • Governmental Fees: Since August 15, 2022, no fees are charged for registration, amendments, or renewals.

Enforcement Bodies

  • AMAR (Medical Devices Division): Responsible for device registration, import permits, export approvals, and market surveillance.
  • Ministry of Health: Oversees regulatory enforcement and collaborates with professional committees and the Standards Institute of Israel.
