Renewal

품목허가 certificates do not automatically expire, but must be kept current. Maintain active GMP certificate and notify MFDS of changes.

PMCF conditions may require ongoing safety and performance data collection after approval. Approved devices remain valid indefinitely provided the GMP certificate and product status remain current; however, MFDS may require periodic documentation of compliance with approval conditions.
