Hi Mark,

No.  The MDD, Article 14 address this.  You only have to register with the
CO of the country where you have your authorized representative.   But, I
have heard that some countries have passed national laws requiring you to
register all devices.

Dear Members,

In the EEC if I register a Class I Medical Device with a Competent Authority
in one Membered State, must I register with other Competent Authorities as
we eventually market product their State. All input is appreciated.
