Swissmedic: Focus campaign 2025 – Checking compliance with importer obligations
Swissmedic has announced that it will be launching a focus campaign in 2025 with the intention to check compliance with importer obligations under the Medical Devices Ordinance (MedDO). For this, a certain number of Swiss importers will be selected through a random sample, for which an on-site review will be conducted.
The obligations of an importer include, among other things:
- a verification of formal product conformity before placing devices on the Swiss market, including the requirements set out in the transitional provisions;
- compliance with the required storage and transport conditions of the products;
- cooperation with and provision of information to the authorities and economic operators in the event of complaints, incidents, and field safety corrective actions including recalls.
