UK Responsible Person (UKRP)

The UK Responsible Person (UKRP) is required by the UK Authorities for Medical Devices & In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Manufacturers located outside the UK. In order to place medical devices in the UK market, you need to appoint a UKRP according to the Medical Devices Regulations 2002.

The UK Responsible Person acts on behalf of the non-UK manufacturer to carry out specified tasks in relation to the manufacturer’s obligations. ... this includes registering the manufacturer’s devices with the MHRA before the devices can be placed on the Great Britain market.
