Businesses can respond to classification in the following ways

Closely monitor policy changes 
Arrange for a dedicated person or team to track regulatory changes and promptly understand relevant information on adjustments to medical device classification rules, including the release, revision, and interpretation of policy documents. Subscribe to information channels of relevant government departments and industry associations, and participate in policy briefings and seminars to ensure that accurate information is obtained in a timely manner. 
For example, the website of the National Medical Products Administration will promptly release the latest policies and notices on medical device classification management. Enterprises should regularly browse the website to keep abreast of the specific content and requirements of adjustments to classification rules. 
Conduct internal training and communication 
Organize relevant personnel from various departments within the enterprise, such as R&D, production, quality, and registration, to participate in training on adjustments to classification rules so that employees understand the impact of these adjustments on the enterprise's products and business, and clarify their respective responsibilities and tasks in the adjustment process. 
Establish a cross-departmental communication mechanism, strengthen collaboration and information sharing between departments, and ensure that work in various stages can be smoothly connected in response to adjustments to classification rules. For example, the R&D department and the registration department promptly communicate the technical characteristics of products and the basis for classification definition, and the production department adjusts production processes and quality control measures according to the classification adjustments. 
Self-inspection and assessment of product classification 
Based on the new classification rules, conduct a comprehensive review and self-inspection of the enterprise's existing products to determine the new classification categories of the products. For products with unclear classification definitions, promptly communicate with the regulatory authorities or apply for classification definition consultation to ensure the accuracy of product classification. 
For example, enterprises can refer to the new classification catalogue and classification determination principles to conduct detailed analysis of the intended use, structural composition, and working principles of the products to determine whether the products belong to innovative medical devices or high-risk products, so that appropriate countermeasures can be taken. 
Registration and filing management 
According to the results of product classification adjustments, promptly handle registration or filing change procedures. For products with increased management categories, supplement relevant registration materials according to the requirements of the new categories, such as clinical trial reports and risk management materials; for products with decreased management categories, simplify the relevant registration procedures and material requirements. 
Pay attention to the validity period of the registration certificate and the time node for renewal registration to ensure the validity and continuity of the product registration certificate and avoid the product's listing and sales being affected due to registration issues. 
Adjustment of production quality management system 
According to the new classification requirements, adjust and improve the production quality management system accordingly. If the product management category is increased, it is necessary to strengthen work in areas such as production process control, quality inspection, and personnel training to improve product quality assurance capabilities; if the management category is decreased, the production management process can be appropriately optimized to reduce production costs while ensuring product quality. 
For example, for high-risk medical devices, it may be necessary to increase the cleanliness requirements of the production environment, strengthen the review of raw material suppliers, and increase the frequency of product inspection and testing. 
Adjustment of R&D strategy 
Combine classification rule adjustments and market demand to adjust the enterprise's R&D strategy. Increase investment in the R&D of innovative medical devices and actively develop products with higher technical content and clinical value to obtain policy support and market competitive advantages. 
Pay attention to the classification guidance of emerging technologies and products for classification rule adjustments, and proactively plan R&D in related fields to lay the foundation for the enterprise's future product reserves and market expansion. For example, with the application of artificial intelligence and big data in the medical device field, enterprises can conduct related technological R&D and product innovation based on the definition of such products according to classification rules. 
Supply chain management optimization 
Communicate with suppliers about the impact of classification rule adjustments on the procurement of raw materials and components to ensure that the products provided by suppliers meet the new classification standards and quality requirements. For raw materials and components whose demand has changed due to classification adjustments, promptly adjust procurement plans and supplier selection strategies. 
Strengthen risk management of the supply chain, establish a supplier assessment and monitoring mechanism, ensure the stability of supply and reliability of quality of raw materials and components, and avoid production and listing of products being affected due to supply chain issues. 
Market strategy adjustment 
Adjust market promotion and sales strategies according to the product classification adjustment situation. For products with increased management categories, convey information on product safety and effectiveness to customers and the market to improve market recognition; for products with decreased management categories, market positioning and pricing strategies can be appropriately adjusted to expand market share. 
Pay attention to changes in competitors' market strategies after classification rule adjustments, promptly take countermeasures, and maintain the enterprise's competitive position in the market. For example, for innovative medical devices, products can be promoted and publicized by participating in industry exhibitions and academic conferences to improve product awareness and reputation.
