Imaging, radiology and radiotherapy covers X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and treatment systems. The Index lists these establishments because the registries contain them.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 17 | 23% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Authorised representative | 9 | 12% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 27 | 36% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 65 | 88% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 11 | 15% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in France
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later.
