Introduction

The Maldives operates one of the most geographically distributed healthcare systems in the world, relying heavily on imported medical devices to support hospitals, regional health centers, and island clinics. With increasing adoption of advanced diagnostics, portable devices, and software-enabled medical technologies, regulatory compliance has become more complex than traditional documentation checks.

End-to-End Medical Devices Regulatory Compliance Assessment Services in Maldives by Cyberintelsys, supported by CREST-aligned cybersecurity practices, are designed to help manufacturers and distributors achieve regulatory clearance, operational reliability, and cyber-resilient healthcare delivery across island environments.

Regulatory Landscape for Medical Devices in Maldives

Medical devices entering the Maldivian market are governed by national controls enforced by the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA). Compliance expectations now extend beyond safety and performance to include:

• Product authorization and controlled import approvals

• Verification of device classification and intended use

• Evaluation of safety, performance, and usability data

• Compliance of labeling and instructions with local usage conditions

• Readiness for post-market oversight and traceability

As healthcare systems digitize, software reliability and cyber risk are becoming implicit components of regulatory scrutiny.

Why a Full-Scope Compliance Assessment Is Critical

Operating in the Maldivian healthcare ecosystem presents unique compliance challenges:

• Dependence on overseas manufacturers and logistics chains

• Use of devices in remote and resource-limited island facilities

• Higher operational risk if devices fail or are compromised

• Limited tolerance for regulatory non-conformance during inspections

• Increased exposure to cyber threats due to networked healthcare systems

An end-to-end assessment ensures regulatory, quality, and risk controls work together, rather than in isolation.

• Secure update, access control, and data protection evaluations

This ensures devices remain safe and functional in real-world environments.

5. Compliance Gap Identification & Corrective Planning

• Identification of regulatory, quality, and cyber risk gaps

• Risk-ranked remediation roadmap

• Documentation updates and corrective action planning

• Pre-approval and audit readiness checks

This proactive approach prevents compliance failures before they occur.

6. Lifecycle Compliance & Post-Market Oversight

• Post-market surveillance framework assessment

• Incident handling and field safety corrective action readiness

• Continuous compliance monitoring strategies

• Cyber vulnerability disclosure and response planning

Compliance is maintained throughout the product lifecycle, not just at launch.
