This page talks about the overall process of registration in Indonesia by MOH RI

Medical devices have been regulated in Indonesia since 1991. Only a company which has the distribution license (IPAK) issued by the MOH RI (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia) can import medical devices. It is important to note that there can be only one legal importer and distributor in Indonesia. Additionally the filing to MOH RI can be done via a e-registration online system which makes the process simple and efficient. The Registration import medical device license has a validity of minimum 2 years and maximum 5 years. Spare parts and accessories do not require registration.
