Who Manages the MDR Process?

Adapted: 8 October 2026. Practical guidance reviewed: 15 September 2026.

Direct answer

The legal manufacturer remains responsible for MDR conformity, technical documentation, the EU declaration and post-market obligations. A notified body performs the tasks required by the device's class and selected route; competent authorities have regulatory oversight roles. Kayra coordinates preparation. Contract manufacture and own-brand selling require explicit allocation of records and responsibilities.

Practical questions for this decision

Who is the manufacturer when a contract-made device is sold under our brand?

Determine how the device is marketed and each party's MDR role. Own-brand supply may create manufacturer duties; assess specific contractual arrangements against the relevant provisions. Clarify technical file access, quality systems and post-market responsibilities. Do not treat the factory's certificate as transferring all your duties.
