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 | 271 | 29% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Distributor | 49 | 5% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Registration holder | 237 | 25% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 917 | 98% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 88 | 9% | 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 the United States
In the United States the manufacturer registers its own establishment with the FDA and lists its devices; there is no local holder requirement. A US importer must also register as an initial importer, and the 510(k) or PMA stays in the manufacturer's name, so a distributor can be replaced without losing market access.
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later.
