Here is how one company finally overcame multiple rejections from ANVISA Brazil.

Introduction
A large manufacturer of surgical devices sought registration for three different Class IIb product families in Brazil. The manufacturer’s application was repeatedly rejected by ANVISA (Ministry of Health in Brazil) with new deficiencies each time. This led the device manufacturer to approach ANVISA with different response strategies, which only led to further rejections and confusion.

Business Challenge
In an attempt to obtain regulatory approval in Brazil, the device manufacturer spent three months identifying and appointing an internal champion to oversee the applications. The internal champion wasted an additional two months sourcing knowledge internally on ANVISA application best practice. After much avail, the team decided to hire a local regulatory consulting company in Brazil. With the help of the consulting company, the client submitted the application to ANVISA only to have it denied three times with new deficiencies each time. Eighteen months later, the manufacturer’s products still failed to penetrate the market. After almost two years of repeated rejection, the manufacturer wanted to understand what was keeping its application from gaining ANVISA’s approval.
