"CloudCerts®" Service Page https://mynatrust.jp/service/cloudcerts/lp/ 1. Background for Introducing "CloudCerts®" Sellers of "Controlled Medical Devices" that greatly impact human life, such as artificial cardiopulmonary bypass devices, are required by the PMD Act to have a manager who has completed "Basic Training" at each business location. Furthermore, in the medical industry, to maintain up-to-date knowledge as a business location manager due to revisions of the PMD Act and changes in regulations and quality control rules for medical devices, the enforcement regulations of the same act mandate annual attendance of "Continuous Training." HAPI, the implementing body for "Basic Training" and "Continuous Training," was considering digitalization of completion certificates to complete the entire process from application to issuance of certificates online, in response to a notification from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (*). Our "CloudCerts®" was adopted because it was recognized for its ability to issue secure digital certificates with mechanisms to prevent impersonation and forgery, in addition to digitalizing completion certificates. * "Response based on the "Review Plan for Regulations in Light of Digital Principles and Roadmap for Review of Analog Regulations Based on Digital Principles (Regarding On-site Presence, Face-to-Face Training, On-site Visits, etc. for Medical Devices, In Vitro Diagnostic Reagents, and Regenerative Medical Products)" (Reiw
