Which medical devices are measuring medical devices?
Medical devices with measuring function require additional testing during registration process. How manufacturer could know that his device is measuring medical device? See answer from Order of Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation #89n dated August 15, 2012 (Appendix 2).
LIST OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS CLASSIFIED AS MEASURING DEVICES IN STATE REGULATION OF UNIFORMITY OF MEASUREMENTS AND TESTED TO ESTABLISH THE TYPES OF MEASURING DEVICES:
