Medical devices

Medical devices range from simple bandages and spectacles, through implantable devices and equipment to diagnose and screen, to sophisticated minimal invasive surgery equipment. 

The Directorate for Health and Social Affairs in Norway runs the medical device database where all medical devices must be registered.

Guidelines on notification for clinical investigation of medical devices in Norway can be downloaded from the Directorate's home page:
