If you are a non-EU medical device manufacturer wishing to sell your products in the European Union, you need to appoint a European Authorised Representative (EAR). An EAR acts as your ticket or green card to place your medical devices in the markets of 27 countries of EU.

Every European Authorised Representative has to fulfill the roles and responsibilities that have been laid down under Article 11 of MDR 2017/745. These duties are:

Documentation
Verification of:
- Declaration of Conformity
- Technical Documentation
- Conformity Assessment Procedure
Retention for 10 years or 15 (implantable):
- DoC
- Technical Documentation
- Certificates+Amendments/Supplements

Vigilance
Forward immediately to the manufacturer:
- Requests by Competent Authorities
- Adverse events’ reports and complaints
Cooperating with Competent Authorities on preventive/corrective actions

Registration
Register in EUDAMED and verify that the manufacturer has met their registration obligations.

Free Sales Certificate
Though it is not explicitly mentioned in the Article 11 of MDR, an Authorised Representative is the only one who can apply for an FSC or Certificate of Free Sales for a non-EU manufacturer, which allows the latter to sell his devices in the EU.
Meddevices Lifesciences as a European Authorised Representative, not only fulfills its responsibilities as an EU EAR, but also goes a few steps ahead to offer some additional services to the medical device manufacturers.
