According to the regulator, major types of medical products are not subject to registration requirements in Peru include IVD equipment, laboratory instruments and materials, hospital clothing and furniture. Examples of exempt products include breathalyser equipment, some hematology analysis tools, cytometry equipment and dissection tables.
