In the "Manufacturing, Lifecycle & Obsolescence Management" category the database holds 314 companies. This note looks at where they are based, which markets they are registered in, which of them are present in the most markets, and how to use category data. Data as of 2026-09-07.
Where they are based
By company location: Germany 99, USA 39, Italy 30, Switzerland 25, France 12, Netherlands 10. Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau account for 18 companies, 6%.
Registration footprint
Where these companies hold records: 美国 71, 英国 33, 欧盟 29, 澳大利亚 27, 韩国 18, 巴西 17, 以色列 17, 台湾 14. 21 of them appear in five or more markets (7%). That share is a rough indicator of how internationally these products move: higher-value devices usually need separate registration in each market, while low-value consumables often stay single-market or regional.

How to use category data
The "Manufacturing, Lifecycle & Obsolescence Management" category page lists every company in this category and reads well against the by-market page: find the product line on the category page, then check on the market page how many registrations those companies hold in the market you are entering. Each company page shows per-market record counts, class distribution and the similar names excluded during verification.Scope
Categories come from the official MEDICA / COMPAMED and CMEF taxonomies. A company can sit in several categories, so category totals exceed the number of companies.
Every market figure on this site is the result of **re-checking each manufacturer name record by record**, not a raw hit count from a registry search interface. Name search in these registries is generally a substring match: searching EUDAMED for "Edan" returns 1,933 records, of which 434 belong to HANEDAN in Turkey and 300 to TeDan Surgical in the United States — taking the raw count would overstate by more than 60 percent. We therefore require the distinctive token to appear as a whole word and demand a genuinely distinguishing shared token; generic words such as "medical" or "systems" never qualify on their own, and the similar names that were excluded are listed on each company page. Each market counts a different unit (the EU counts UDI-DI device records, the US counts listed device types, Canada and Brazil count valid registrations, Korea counts quality-system certifications), so figures cannot be summed or compared across markets. The full basis, official portals and query paths are at the methodology page.
