Medical Device Consultancy from Concept to Commercialization
From low-risk consumables to life-sustaining devices, Suchigo Consulting supports project consultancy across every medical device classification.
Medical devices in India are grouped into four risk-based classes — A, B, C, and D — under the country's Medical Device Rules. The classification a device falls under shapes the regulatory pathway, manufacturing controls, and documentation a project needs to account for from the outset. As your medical device consultant, Suchigo Consulting supports manufacturing project consultancy across all four classes.
| Class | Risk level | What it typically covers |
|---|---|---|
| Class A | Low risk | Non-invasive devices with minimal patient contact. Regulatory requirements are comparatively light, but manufacturing setup still needs to reflect basic quality and documentation standards. |
| Class B | Low-moderate risk | Devices contacting mucous membranes or used short-term. Manufacturing and regulatory planning need to account for moderate compliance requirements at this stage. |
| Class C | Moderate-high risk | Invasive devices entering the body or internal fluid pathways. This category typically calls for closer regulatory scrutiny and more rigorous manufacturing controls. |
| Class D | High risk | Devices contacting the cardiovascular or central nervous system, or sustaining life. This is the most heavily regulated category, and manufacturing project planning needs to reflect that from the earliest stage. |
How we support each classification
Regulatory expectations rise sharply as device risk increases, and manufacturing project planning needs to reflect that from the earliest stage — a Class A production setup looks very different from one intended for Class D devices. Suchigo Consulting's project consultancy — covering facility planning, statutory approvals, and manufacturing setup — is shaped around the classification your device falls under, so the project is built to the right regulatory standard from day one.
