Patient monitoring and neurology device distributors in Canada: 230 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 230 establishments in Canada whose registry records include patient monitoring and neurology: 95 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 47 registration holders without a channel role, and 88 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 2,745 medical device establishments in Canada overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA) and Health Canada, last seen on 22 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.

Who holds the registration in Canada
In Canada the device licence (MDALL) is held by the manufacturer, while importers and distributors need a Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL). The manufacturer keeps the product registration; the distributor's MDEL is its own and transfers nothing to it.
