Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about UK medical device registration, UKCA marking and MHRA compliance.
What is MHRA registration?
MHRA registration is a requirement for eligible medical devices placed on the Great Britain market. The registration process requires manufacturers to provide relevant information about the device and manufacturer. Vesta Consulting can help businesses understand the applicable requirements, review their documentation and prepare for registration.
Do I need UKCA marking?
UKCA marking demonstrates that a medical device meets the applicable UK regulatory requirements. Whether UKCA marking is required depends on factors including the device classification, conformity assessment route and where the device is being placed on the UK market. Vesta Consulting can help assess your current position and identify the appropriate compliance pathway.
What is a UK responsible person?
Manufacturers based outside the UK may need to appoint a UK Responsible Person when placing medical devices on the Great Britain market. The UK Responsible Person has specific regulatory responsibilities, including acting as a point of contact with the MHRA and supporting certain registration and compliance obligations. Vesta Consulting can help manufacturers understand how this requirement applies to their business.
