Multiple UK Reps possible?

[regcoord]

Hi all!
Is it possible to have multiple distributors or UK Reps for the same medical devices? E.g. we have distributor 1, 2 and 3 who want to import the same device. Do we need to appoint 1 as the main distributor/UK REP that all sales will go through?

We are EU manufacturers (CE-marked IVD devices) with no prescence/office/Legal rep in the UK today.

UKRP is not involved in import/sales, only in registrations/market surveillance, etc. 1 UKRP per device. No limit on number of distributors, only that the UKRP shall be made aware of them.

Exactly. Having more than one in country representative creates a potential finger-pointing problem. Thats not a good thing. The buck stops in country with one Authorized rep.
