Patient monitoring and neurology device distributors in the Netherlands: 71 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 71 establishments in the Netherlands whose registry records include patient monitoring and neurology: 32 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 2 registration holders without a channel role, and 37 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 2,044 medical device establishments in the Netherlands overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED, web and Health Canada, last seen on 23 October 2026.
Patient monitoring, neurology and physical medicine covers monitors, pulse oximetry, EEG and EMG, rehabilitation and wearable devices. Registries group a wide range of risk classes here, so the counts include both hospital capital equipment houses and consumer-grade device importers. Software and connectivity now feature in many registrations.
By role
| Role | Establishments | Share | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer | 29 | 41% | Named as importer in a registry: EUDAMED importer, FDA initial importer, or a Gulf import licence. |
| Distributor | 1 | 1% | Holds a distribution licence or is listed as distributor (Health Canada MDEL, SFDA, Oman MOH). |
| Authorised representative | 20 | 28% | Represents a foreign manufacturer towards the regulator (EU authorised representative and similar). |
| Registration holder | 7 | 10% | Holds device licences or registrations in its own name (Health Canada MDALL licence holder). |
| Manufacturer | 45 | 63% | Registered as a manufacturer with an address in this market, including foreign registrations. |
| Exporter | 24 | 34% | Registered with the US FDA as an exporter of devices made for export. |
An establishment can hold several roles, so the shares add to more than 100%.
Who holds the registration in the Netherlands
In the EU and EEA the manufacturer, or its EU authorised representative for manufacturers based outside the EU, registers in EUDAMED and holds the CE marking file. Importers and distributors register separately as economic operators and never own the registration, which is why EU channel changes are easier than elsewhere.
