Switzerland's Swissdamed: Mandatory Device and IVD Registration by July 2026

Switzerland's swissdamed database becomes mandatory on July 1, 2026, for all medical devices and IVDs. This episode details the key deadlines, including the transition period until December 31, 2026, for existing devices, the scope of registration for all device classes, and the new annual fee structure based on UDI-DI counts. We provide practical steps for manufacturers to ensure compliance and maintain market access. Key Questions: - What is swissdamed and why is registration becoming mandatory? - What is the hard deadline for registering new medical devices in Switzerland? - Is there a grace period for devices already on the Swiss market? - Who is responsible for completing the swissdamed registration? - How will the new annual fees be calculated? - What data is required for a successful swissdamed submission? - How does swissdamed relate to the EU's EUDAMED database? - What are the immediate actions our regulatory team should take now? - How should we budget for these new Swiss compliance costs?
