Why?

According to clause #2 of Russian Medical Device Registration Rules (Resolution 1416):

Medical device and medical equipment registration certificates with an unlimited validity period, issued before the effective date of this Resolution, shall be valid until and be replaced on January 1, 2017, with registration certificates in the format approved by the Federal Service for Healthcare Supervision (Roszdravnadzor).

A registration certificate shall be replaced without the repeated state registration of medical devices, on the basis of the application submitted by the applicant to the Federal Service for Healthcare Supervision and containing the information envisaged in the Rules provided for by this Resolution.
