EU registers undercount distressed medical device companies. In France, insolvency records show 207% more than the company register.
- A company that has stopped trading can still show as Active in EUDAMED, the EU's device database.
- An inactive authorised representative can stay named as the EU contact on devices still on sale.
- A buyer should check national insolvency records before trusting a register's status field.
