Introduction:

The regulatory landscape for Medical Device Consultants in the United Kingdom has undergone significant changes, especially post-Brexit. One of the critical requirements for non-UK manufacturers wishing to place their products on the UK market is the appointment of a UK Responsible Person (UKRP). I3CGLOBAL UK specializes in providing comprehensive UKRP services, ensuring that international manufacturers navigate this new terrain with ease and compliance. This blog sheds light on the role of a UK Responsible Person and the invaluable support I3CGLOBAL UK offers to facilitate market access and maintain regulatory adherence.

Understanding the Role of a UK Responsible Person:

A UK Responsible Person acts as the legal representative for non-UK medical device manufacturers within the United Kingdom. The UKRP is essential for ensuring that the medical devices comply with the UK’s regulatory framework and is responsible for a range of activities, including registering the devices with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), maintaining the technical documentation, and being the primary contact for regulatory authorities.
