Swiss Importer Identified with MDD/AIMDD Devices

31 July 2022

Due to the lapsed Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with Europe, Switzerland is a ‘third country’ related to medical devices. Swissmedic, therefore, instituted its own importer requirements.

The transition period implemented for importers to identify themselves with MDD/AIMDD legacy devices is now over. The importer must be identified on the device, the packaging, or in a document accompanying the device.

More information on this is available here.
