bioaccess® vs Pure Global — LATAM Medical Device Registration

Last reviewed: August 2026.

USD 7,500 is not a higher fee for the same SKU. It is a different SKU. Their published sticker is dossier + holder. The bioaccess® LATAM Launch Subscription is registration + holder + government fees + sworn pages + tecnovigilancia. Pure Global’s 5 February 2026 PR Newswire release says the model “starts at USD $2,000” and still calls it “all-inclusive.” The same PR excludes government and third-party charges, import handling, certified translations, and marketing materials. Their pricing page lists Mexico and Brazil from $2,000–$3,000/year, government fees billed separately, and certified translations excluded. They mention “post-market support” and never publish a Mexico or Brazil tecnovigilancia PRICE; their 2025 LATAM costs blog excepts “large-scale vigilance” — unpublished / billed later.

Silent tecnovigilancia: Pure Global mentions “post-market support” and “vigilance” on its pricing and news pages. It never publishes a Mexico or Brazil tecnovigilancia / technovigilance PRICE. Its 2025 LATAM costs blog excepts “large-scale vigilance.” Unpublished / billed later. This page does not invent a Pure Global tecnovigilancia dollar figure.

Tecnovigilancia is the license to operate

Tecnovigilancia is not a PMS add-on. It is how the titleholder keeps the registration legal.

In Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia the local registration holder must run a tecnovigilancia system after the certificate is granted — a named unit, a responsible professional, written procedures, and statutory adverse-event clocks. Mexico now writes that duty into the Ley General de Salud (art. 262 Bis, DOF 15 Jan 2026). The Mexican five-year Informe de Tecnovigilancia is part of registro renewal (NOM-240-SSA1-2012 §6.7.12). Brazil’s detentor do registro must answer ANVISA on AEs, complaints, and field actions (RDC 67/2009 art. 3). Colombia’s fabricantes e importadores must run an institutional program (Res. 4816/2008). If that system fails, the authority can suspend or cancel the registro, seize or freeze product, prohibit use, and — in Colombia for controlled-tech equipment — suspend import and sale (Decreto 4725 art. 26). A device without a live registro cannot legally stay on the market. Without a live registro, or if product is secured / use is prohibited, legal import stops.

As holder means the legal system: Mexico UVT, named professional, SOPs, AE clocks, and the Informe de Tecnovigilancia for prórroga; Brazil’s detentor system plus the NOTIVISA duty; Colombia’s Programa Institucional. Large-scale FSCA and recall sit outside that system — that is the vigilance Pure Global excepts. This page does not invent a Pure Global tecnovigilancia dollar figure.

Their published Mexico/Brazil sticker is $2,000–$3,000 for dossier + holder. They describe “post-market support.” They do not publish a tecnovigilancia price and they except large-scale vigilance. The bioaccess® LATAM Launch Subscription is USD 7,500 per year per country: we are the holder, and we run tecnovigilancia as that holder.

Frequently asked questions

Is bioaccess® a direct competitor to Pure Global?

More so than to a global full-lifecycle RA consultancy. The commercial contrast is the SKU, not a higher price for the same work. Their published sticker starts at USD $2,000 (Mexico/Brazil $2,000–$3,000/year). The same 5 February 2026 PR still says “all-inclusive” and then excludes government fees, certified translations, import handling, and marketing materials. bioaccess® LATAM Launch Subscription is USD 7,500 / year: registration + holder + government + sworn pages + tecnovigilancia as holder.

Is Pure Global's $2,000 fee all-inclusive?

Their own PR uses that word and then lists carve-outs. The 5 February 2026 PR Newswire release says the model starts at USD $2,000 and still calls it “all-inclusive.” The same PR excludes government and third-party charges, import handling, certified translations, and marketing materials. Their pricing page lists Mexico and Brazil from $2,000–$3,000/year, government fees billed separately, and certified translations excluded.

Does Pure Global publish a Mexico or Brazil tecnovigilancia price?

No. Their pricing and news pages mention “post-market support” and “vigilance.” They never publish a Mexico or Brazil tecnovigilancia / technovigilance PRICE. Their 2025 LATAM costs blog excepts “large-scale vigilance.” Unpublished / billed later. bioaccess® includes tecnovigilancia as holder on the USD 7,500/year Essentials card.

Why is tecnovigilancia the license to operate?

In Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia the local registration holder must run a tecnovigilancia system after the certificate is granted — a named unit, a responsible professional, written procedures, and statutory AE clocks (LGS art. 262 Bis; NOM-240-SSA1-2012 §6.7.12; RDC 67/2009 art. 3; Res. 4816/2008). If that system fails, the authority can suspend or cancel the registro, seize or freeze product, and prohibit use — and in Colombia, for controlled-tech equipment, suspend import and sale (Decreto 4725 art. 26). A device without a live registro cannot legally stay on the market. Without a live registro, or if product is secured / use is prohibited, legal import stops.

What does “tecnovigilancia as holder” include on the bioaccess® $7,500 card?

The legal system: Mexico UVT, named professional, SOPs, AE clocks, and the Informe de Tecnovigilancia for prórroga; Brazil’s detentor system plus the NOTIVISA duty; Colombia’s Programa Institucional. Large-scale FSCA and recall are the vigilance Pure Global excepts. They describe “post-market support” and do not publish a tecnovigilancia price. The bioaccess® LATAM Launch Subscription is USD 7,500 per year per country because we are the holder and we run that system.

Can I use both bioaccess® and Pure Global on the same program?

Yes, if the split is practical. Sponsors who already have Pure Global as holder in one published market sometimes use bioaccess® for additional LATAM markets or for an all-inclusive Launch Subscription that includes government fees and certified translations.

When should I choose Pure Global instead of bioaccess®?

Choose Pure Global when their published sticker (from USD $2,000/yr; Mexico/Brazil from $2,000–$3,000/year) matches your scope and you will budget government fees, certified translations, import handling, marketing materials, and any later tecnovigilancia separately. Choose bioaccess® when you want those items inside one annual fee of USD 7,500 / year Market Access Essentials.
