The speculum is a medical instrument used by health professionals for gynecological purposes where the doctor uses it to separate the vaginal walls. In this way the doctor can examine the inside of the patient’s cavity, in addition to collecting material for exams.

There are disposable specula that are most used, and reusable ones that in this case need to be sterilized for use.

The speculum is a hospital material that, according to the Anvisa risk classification, belongs to risk class I or II.

In this way, it belongs to the group that has less risk and in this case there is no need to obtain the CBPF – Certificate of Good Manufacturing Practices. The manufacturer only needs to notify the product to Anvisa, following all regulations that the agency requires.

In summary, we can conclude that the product registration is for risk products III and IV, and for products of risk class I and II, notification is required according to RDC No. 423, OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2020.

Thus, the speculum needs notification at Anvisa in order to be marketed and then used by specialized health professionals.

Notification of the speculum at Anvisa is mandatory for the product to be marketed. Thus, it is important to remember that for this you need to be with your registered company, that is, you need the AFE of importer or manufacturer of the product, because only then you have access to the system for notification.

AFE is the Operating Authorization Certificate issued by Anvisa where it proves that the company is authorized to carry out the activities described in the certificate itself.
