The Human Allied Substances service regulates medical devices, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices, disinfectants, condoms, surgical consumables, and other allied health products intended for human use. The service ensures that these products meet established standards of safety, quality, and performance before they are placed on the Zambian market.
Regulatory activities include product registration, technical evaluation, review of product documentation, import and export control, post-market surveillance, vigilance reporting, and market inspections. Through effective regulation, the Authority safeguards public health by ensuring that healthcare professionals and patients have access to safe, reliable, and quality-assured allied health products.
