Commercial copies of the EU medical device register differ from the official one, so I check every diligence claim against EUDAMED itself.
- EUDAMED is the EU's official database of medical device companies and their products.
- Authorised representatives, the EU contacts that non-EU makers must name, only confirm their records every two years.
- 59.5% of them have no devices registered, so a company showing zero devices is not a red flag on its own.
