後発医療機器

English translation: generic medical device

06:47 Sep 4, 2008
Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Instruments / drugs and equipment
Japanese term or phrase: 後発医療機器
The document, an application for approval of the manufacture and sale of medical equipment, indicates that the requirement for clinical trials is not applicable because the equipment is 後発医療機器.
I'm assuming that this means that it is generic medical equipment--is that correct?
This is the last line in my text and my deadline is approaching so any help would be most gratefully appreciated!
Thanks!
