29 September 2026

On 14 August 2026, the Health Sciences Authority (“HSA”) published the finalised Best Practices Guide for Medical Device Cybersecurity (“Guide”) and provided a summary of responses to feedback received from a public consultation conducted on the Guide from 10 March 2025 to 13 May 2025. HSA notes that the responses received were generally positive and incorporated the responses received when finalising the Guide.

 The Guide is intended to help medical device manufacturers, product registrants, importers, local authorised representatives, and healthcare providers understand how to maintain the security of connected medical devices placed on the Singapore market. It shares practical advice on cybersecurity across the device’s entire life cycle, from development (pre-market stage) through to use and maintenance (post-market stage).
