Medical Qualifications
3 types of medical licenses for 4 classes of medical items
Although in Japan, there is only 1 type of license for Medical Device Manufacturer, 3 types of licenses for Medical Device Manufacturer and Seller are available. A Type 2 license is essential for regulated medical devices with potential risks to human health, such as physical therapy equipment, electronic endoscopes, and MRI machines.
