Hi, In the USA, it is the FDA. For most medical products, the FDA determines that your product is Substantially Equivalent to a legally marketed device. This is the FDA 510(k) process. They issue you a letter that allows you to legally market the device.
For EMC, the FDA usually wants to see that you comply with IEC 60601-1-2.

Don't laugh, yes I know it is a silly question, but if you want to certify medical equipment, are the requirements covered in the FDA or in the FCC regulations ? As you understand, within this field, I'm a really novice ...........
