  • 1.  UK registration of Class III. implantable medical devices, CE-certified in the period between January 01-May 26, 2021

    Posted 08-Feb-2021 11:55

    Dear Colleagues,

     could you please help me correctly interpret the following issue:

    in the UK Class III. implantable medical devices, CE-certified in the period between January 01-May 26, 2021 undergo the same registration procedure as the devices already CE-certified before January 01, 2021 (before the Brexit)?

     Does the procedure described at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/register-medical-devices-to-place-on-the-market#when-register apply for these Class III. devices?

    regards

    Hello Peter,

    You should just concentrate on meeting the new UK regulations for devices post-Brexit, as per the link you identified. If the manufacturer is not located in the UK, then he must designate a UK Responsible Person (UKRP) to make the registrations on his behalf.

    As an aside, Class III devices from non-UK manufacturers did not need to be registered with MHRA before Brexit, unless the devices were from non-EU manufacturers who had designated an Authorised Representative in the UK.

    While non-UK manufacturers wishing to export devices to the UK post-Brexit should already have their UKRPs designated, device registration needs to take place in accordance with the MHRA's classification-dependent timescale. So for the Class III device you mention, this must be registered with the MHRA's DORS database before 1 May 2021.

    If you still need help, send me an email, or we can discuss on the phone.

    Best wishes.

    Peter,
    If your device is CE certified in the period after Jan. 1, 2021, and you want to place this device on the UK market, you need an UK Responsible Person to register your company and your device. The impact and details are laid down in the MHRA document that you hyperlinked. 

    We are organizing a webinar detailing all such issues regarding Brexit and UK RP and UKCA regulation. Feel free to join https://www.qservegroup.com/eu/en/i874/free-webinar--uk-responsible-person
