If the manufacturer of a medical device does not have its registered place of business in Switzerland, its products may only be placed on the market once an authorised representative domiciled in Switzerland has been appointed (Art. 51 para. 1 MedDO). This also applies to manufacturers with their registered place of business in the EU.
The binding deadlines can be found in the next section:
December 31, 2021: Class IIb and III
March 31, 2022: Class IIb and IIa
July 31, 2022: Class I
July 31, 2022: Systems and treatment units
The deadline means that the papers for the SWISSREP must be complete and compliant by then, this can sometimes take time. Advice: start in good time months in advance, just to be on the safe side.
