MHRA Device Registration

Under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (UK MDR 2002), all medical devices, in vitro diagnostic devices (IVDs), and custom-made devices, refurbished or re-labelled devices, systems, and procedure packs must be registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) before being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales). This applies to all device classes, whether manufactured, refurbished, or re-labelled under your own name. The requirement also includes systems and procedure packs containing at least one medical device, as well as IVDs undergoing performance evaluation.
