In many countries, including the United States and Canada, the risk-of-use level of a medical device is directly proportional to the level of regulatory control applicable for that device. As an already highly regulated industry, medical devices require effective communication with the regulatory bodies responsible in the country in which the manufacturer intends the device to be sold. Many regulatory bodies may even require companies to appoint a representative for the medical device in these countries.
