ASEAN MedTech Insights
Singapore MedTech Alert: Is Your Distributor Holding Your HSA Registration Hostage? Pure Global on Securing Your ASEAN Market Access.
11 Oct 2025
In this episode of ASEAN MedTech Insights, we dive into one of the most critical and overlooked decisions for medical device companies entering the Singapore market: the appointment of your Health Sciences Authority (HSA) Registrant. Singapore is the region's premier hub, but a single misstep here can halt your regional expansion before it even begins. We explore why the common practice of appointing a commercial distributor as your legal Registrant is fraught with risk. This arrangement can lead to your product registration being held hostage, effectively giving a sales partner control over your market access and growth strategy across ASEAN. We break down how this happens and what it means for your business. **Key Takeaways:** * What is the single biggest mistake foreign MedTech companies make when entering Singapore? * Why should you never tie your legal device registration to a commercial distributor? * How does the HSA Registrant system in Singapore impact your ability to scale into markets like Malaysia and Vietnam? * What are the legal and financial risks of losing control of your product approval? * How can an independent, professional Registrant give you complete control over your commercial partners and sales strategy? * What is the process for fixing the problem if you've already appointed a distributor as your Registrant? * Why is a solid Singapore regulatory strategy the key to unlocking the entire ASEAN MedTech market? At Pure Global, we serve as your dedicated, independent Registrant in Singapore and beyond. We secure your market access while giving you the freedom to build the commercial strategy that's right for your business. Our end-to-end regulatory solutions combine local expertise with advanced AI to streamline your entry into over 30 global markets, including the entire ASEAN region.
