For this purpose; the tender costs of the medical device at the initial stage of the medical device registration system are determined. The determined tender prices are compared with the changes in the tender prices realized with the medical device registration application over time. It is concluded that the medical device registration system reduces medical device prices and contributes to health expenditure savings.
