Implanted technology, that meets the definition of a medical device, is regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which ensures that such devices meet applicable standards for safety, quality and efficacy.
The Department, the MHRA and other national health and care bodies are engaging with partners across Government to ensure that our system of regulation keeps pace with new developments in technology.
