Not sure if this fits directly under the Brexit thread?
Anyhow I'm after some honest advice regarding any changes that might have already happened to products with CE marks and their possible conversion to a BS kit mark.
Bit of background... if you didn't know I work in theatres at a DGH so deal with procurement for medical products/devices for use during operating procedures.
Today we've heard that one of the companies we use has suspended their supplies because "the products are made in the EU but now require a 'BS kite' mark before they can be released onto the UK market to be used".
Does anybody know if this is true? or am I smelling a different kind of BS?
Currently it is just the one company but I know that the majority of our disposable products (especially in anaesthetics) are made in Easten Europe so this could hit the NHS big time.
