Any non-UK manufacturer of medical devices or IVDs must appoint a UK-based importer to place their products on the UK market. This importer must ensure compliance with UK MDR 2002 regulations and coordinate with the appointed UK Responsible Person (UKRP).
Ans. MHRA-compliant importer is responsible for verifying CE/UKCA markings, reviewing documentation, ensuring proper labeling, and managing post-market surveillance. They must also ensure safe storage, report non-compliance, and cooperate with market surveillance authorities.
Ans. The UK Responsible Person (UKRP) acts on behalf of the manufacturer to register products with the MHRA and maintain technical documentation. The importer physically brings the product into the UK and ensures its compliance before it is placed on the market. Both roles are legally required for non-UK manufacturers.
Ans. Yes! GrowthMedics and its subsidiary, GrowthImports, can act as your regulatory importer and coordinate closely with your designated UKRP—or serve as both—ensuring full compliance and simplified market entry.
Ans. Failure to register your medical or IVD device with the MHRA will prevent you from lawfully placing it on the Great Britain market. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, penalties, and supply chain disruption.
