    The MHRA guidance document - Regulatory medical devices in the UK  
    States that the legislation that applies in Great Britain is the EU MDD. (MDR will not be implemented in Great Britain) 
    Does it mean that at least until Jan 1, 2021, MDD devices can be still be marketed in the UK?

    ​CE marked devices can continue being placed on the UK market until June 30 2023. From July 1, 2023 onward, a UKCA mark will need to be  n the device in order to be placed on the UK market. You'll also need to have a UK Responsible person (importer) designated by December 31, 2021 and devices registered with the MHRA as required.

    I thought the UK deadline was 9/1/2021 for Auth Rep and Registration with MHRA. Please confirm. Classification of devices has an impact.

    Grace periods and deadlines for MHRA registration

    The MHRA has set the following deadlines for registration:

    • May 1, 2021: active implantable medical devices, Class III medical devices, Class IIb implantable medical devices and IVD List A devices
    • September 1, 2021: Class IIb non-implantable medical devices, Class IIa medical devices, IVD List B devices, self-test IVD products

    there is different timelines for registration and when a CE only marked device will be accepted.   please see below some images that may help.  These are from an upcoming webinar I'm running.

    Thanks, Sebastian. A question I have is then if a company is currently MDD CE does that mean as it conforms to MDR for EU it will need to retain its technical fille for MDD as its UK Technical  File ongoing? Is UK MDR 2002 the same as EU MDD?


    I would be very interested in your webinar.

    Hi Edward,
    when the UK transposed the MDDs into UK law they did it under UK MDR 2002.  So the UK med device regulations diverged from EU regulations on date of application of EU MDR.
    there is also obviously the additional requirements such as UK responsible person and the UKCA mark, which came into effect through additional UK regulations.  These were to facilitate the UK exit from the EU.  These are the EU exit regulations 2019 and then the more recent Medicines and Medical Devices act 2021.
    You will need to maintain tech doc to meet the UK requirements,
    Seb

    Thank you, Sebastian, 
    To clarify my question,
    Can a manufacturer (outside of the EU) market new (devices that were not placed on the market prior to May 26, 2021)  CE MDD devices in the UK, after May 26, 2021?

    to add additional clarification to my previous comment, 
    the devices are class I devices.
