Our Prosthetic breast does not fall under the category of “medical equipment” registered by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan.
August 1, 2016
We have received the following answers from the Pharmaceutical Affairs Division, Health, Medical and Nursing Care Department, Fukuoka Prefecture.
We received the opinion that our prosthetic breast (1) is used for appearance care and does not fall under the category of medical device (2) does not fall under the category of “prosthetic breast” registered as a medical device by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare defines “silicone pad” inserted into the chest with breast reconstruction surgery as “prosthetic breast” and certifies them as “medical devices”. Since we are often asked whether our “prosthetic breast” is classified as a “medical device”, we consulted the above organization and received a response just to be sure.
In some countries, such as the United States and Europe, our products may be classified as medical devices. Please contact the appropriate agency in your country for details.
