Roszdravnadzor, the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare, intends to amend the administrative rules for the Medical Device Clinical Trial Registry. It is proposed to extend the validity of this document to 31 December 2028. The draft order is open for public consultation, and the deadline for comments is 7 August 2026.

一、Background of Current Rules



The current version of the Rules for Maintaining the Medical Device Clinical Trial Registry was issued and implemented in July 2025. It replaced two former regulatory documents:

  1. Order No. 2525 dated 14 April 2014 on the procedure for maintaining the registry of permits for medical device clinical trials
  2. Order No. 4220‑Пр/13 dated 19 August 2013 on the forms of permits for medical device clinical trials


Under the original provisions, this new regulation was set to expire on 31 December 2026. The draft proposed by Roszdravnadzor seeks a direct 2‑year renewal to continue this electronic registry system.

二、Core Requirements of the Medical Device Clinical Trial Registry



The registry is a public electronic database containing information on all approved medical device clinical trial permits. Mandatory data fields include: 

Date and reference number of the clinical trial permit 

Medical device name, NKMI classification and risk class 

Manufacturer, authorised representative and manufacturing site information

Clinical trial details, including participating medical institutions and trial status

三、Timelines & Submission Channels



  1. Regulator shall enter data into the registry within 3 working days after relevant information is generated;
  2. Manufacturers and authorised representatives may submit trial commencement information via personal accounts on the state public service portal;
  3. The registry is publicly accessible on Roszdravnadzor’s official website, updated daily with full historical version records, available for industry review and retrieval.
四、EAEU Clinical Regulatory Update Recap



Back in February 2024, the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission revised the clinical and clinical laboratory study rules under medical device registration, which entered into force in July 2024.


Key updates of the new EAEU rules: 

▪ New criteria for equivalence assessment for validation of clinical study results; 

▪ Refined trial parameters and conditions for in vitro diagnostic devices and medical software; 

▪ Clarified requirements for clinical trial approval, plus grounds for removing medical institutions from the list of eligible trial sites.


Note: The new EAEU regulation does not apply to medical device registration applications submitted before its entry into force, where clinical study agreements have already been signed. Such projects may proceed under the previous rules.

五、Tips for Global Manufacturers



  1. The Russian national clinical trial registry regime is set for renewal. The public comment window closes on 7 August. Companies exporting to Russia and the EAEU should monitor the final adoption of the draft;
  2. All approved clinical trials conducted in Russia will be recorded in the public registry. Manufacturers must ensure timely reporting of key milestones such as trial initiation through the state portal;
  3. Distinguish between Russian national legislation and unified EAEU rules: legacy registration projects with signed clinical contracts are not subject to the new EAEU clinical requirements.
六、conclusion



Russian medical device regulation keeps evolving. Clinical trial registration, equivalence assessment, IVD and medical software clinical requirements remain critical compliance focus areas for overseas manufacturers.
