Import medical device
Importing a medical device means bringing into the territory of the European Union (EU) a medical device that has been manufactured outside of it.
For example, if you buy medical products manufactured in Asia, the United States, or the United Kingdom, you are importing medical products.
To import medical devices into the European Union (EU) you need to meet a series of requirements; such as having a quality management system (QMS) based on ISO 13485, ensuring traceability, or collaborating with the Health Authorities when required.
In Spain, you also need the figure of the Technical Manager and the prior operating license (import activity) from the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products.

Who needs an Authorised Representative?
Companies that are not European and that want to sell their products within the European Union, either through eCommerce (electronic commerce) or physically.
Even if these products are sold through a supplier, it must be approved in the European Union.
An Authorised Representative is any person or company established in Europe that acts on behalf of a medical device manufacturer located outside the European Union. Therefore, it is a mandatory requirement for any medical device manufacturer located outside the European Union.
Why?
The role of the Authorised Representative (MD import) is mandatory for manufacturers of medical devices outside the European Union.
- Being represented by a company with experience and track record is a choice.
- Choosing your MD import to ensure that compliance with your (YOUR) obligations within the Union is handled efficiently and effectively is a choice.
- Hiring us as your MD import based on our track record, knowledge, and rigor is a smart choice.
As a foreign medical device manufacturer, the same general obligations apply as to companies located within the European Union, although distance, lack of experience with the new regulation and other aspects could make it difficult to market the medical product in Europe.
The marketing of the medical device in European territory could be at risk due to a lack of compliance. The new European Regulations (MDR and IVDR) are strict and demanding. You decide whether to take the risk or choose an authorised representative (MD import) that guarantees good results and has in-depth knowledge of the medical device and in-vitro medical device certification process.
