On August 18, 2025, Swissmedic announced the launch of the new UDI Devices module in the swissdamed database. This development is a key milestone in enhancing transparency and regulatory oversight in the Swiss medical device market.

\n\n

What is changing?

The new module enables the registration of:

Medical devices
In vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDs)
Systems and procedure packs.

Key Timelines

\n
Voluntary registration is available starting August 18, 2025.
\n
\n
Mandatory registration will take effect on July 1, 2026.
\n
\n
A six-month transition period applies, but devices subject to vigilance reporting must be registered by July 1, 2026 without transition.
\n
\n
This requirement applies to Swiss manufacturers, authorized representatives, and assemblers of systems and procedure packs.
\n

Why is this important?

The swissdamed database aligns closely with the EU’s EUDAMED but is tailored to Swiss regulatory needs. With this new module, regulators, healthcare professionals, and patients will benefit from greater transparency about the devices placed on the Swiss market.

For manufacturers and economic operators, early registration will help ensure a smooth transition before the mandatory deadline and reduce risks of non-compliance.

Supporting documentation

Swissmedic has published a comprehensive set of documents to support stakeholders in navigating the new registration process:

\n

\n
\n
UDI Devices Module User Guide (BW630_40_841e_HB) – detailed instructions for uploading, validating, updating, and managing UDIs.
\n
\n
Privacy Notice and Terms of Use (BW630_40_870e_WL) – outlines data processing practices and user rights.
\n
\n
Service Agreement (BW630_40_871e_WL) – legal framework for using swissdamed, including responsibilities and conditions.
