Regulatory Affairs News

Swissmedic

 

Swissmedic has just published a summary of its market surveillance of Post-market Surveillance (PMS) systems.

The inspection of 30 manufacturers of “legacy” devices to which PMS requirements apply showed that over 60% had non-compliant processes. This reveals poor understanding of requirements by manufacturers but also insufficient enforcement by Notified Bodies.

European Commission

 

Updated MDCG 2019-6 rev.5, Q&A on the requirements relating to Notified Bodies

  • I.5.2 newly added to clarify the requirements of personnel responsible for conformity assessment.
  • I.6.1, I.6.2 & I.6.3 replace I.6, clarifying consultancy and training activities by Notified Bodies. “Structured dialogue” is clarified and examples are given.
  • I.9: updated, removed the last paragraph which involves the consultancy topic.
  • IV.1: updated, adding reference to new question IV.13 and EU MDR Art.120(3) & IVDR Art.110(3).
  • IV.7: updated, Notified Body’s allocation of resources must be clearly documented.
  • IV.10: updated, adding more clarification on the teamline of surveillance audits.
  • IV.12: updated, clarification on re-certifications, that are not repetitions of initial certifications.
    • Product certification: focus on clinical data from PMS and PMCF activities, and appropriate updates to the CERs.
    • QMS certification: check the audit programme and sampling plan are up to date or need adjustment. 
    • For both cases: CAPA should be followed up or closed, restricted if scope is to be adjusted, verify specific conditions or limitations, impose new conditions.
  • IV.13: newly added, clarify “leveraging evidence”. 

 

Swiss Federal Council

 

Switzerland announced on 12-Feb-2025 its ratification of the Council of Europe’s framework convention on artificial intelligence

  • The decision stems from the long-awaited outlook of future AI legislation that supports a sectoral implementation of AI rules in Switzerland
  • The next step is a consultation draft, due by the end of 2026, on the implementation of the CoE’s Convention in Switzerland, particularly in the areas of transparency, data protection, non-discrimination, and supervision. 
  • For AI in MedTech, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) is preparing a report on the impact, and the need for amendments to the affected legislation.

 

This means that Switzerland will not be adopting the EU AI Act as is, at least not in the foreseeable future. Amendments to the MedDO/IvDO to align with AI rules could be expected at the earliest by 2027. However, this regulatory approach may be affected by the evolution of the Mutual Recognition Agreement between Switzerland and the EU.

MDCG has published an update to their ongoing/planned guidance development and deliverables of MDCG Subgroups (January 2025). Important changes:

  • New MDCG 2025-3, Excel table with EMDN change history for 2024.
  • Updated MDCG 2024-2 rev.1, on the procedures for EMDN code updates, with an added table that aligns with newly published template form for submissions.

    • Restructuring of questions into clear categories,
    • Additional new questions #7 – #10, on EMDN assignment,

In support of a down-classification of Covid tests, the EMA has published an Advice on SARS-CoV-2 on request from the MDCG confirming that SARS-CoV-2 no longer poses a life-threatening risk with a significant mortality rate for the general European population.

  • MDCG 2020-16 on IVD classification is being updated to reflect this scientific advice.

 

New Implementing Reg. (EU) 2025/117 on the procedures for joint scientific consultations on Health Technology Assessments (HTA) relative to medical devices and IVDs, which shall come into force on 12 February 2025. It describes:

  • The submission process (via HTA IT platform) and timelines.
  • The information exchange between HTA, JSC Subgroup (subgroup on joint scientific consultations of the Coordination Group) and EMA, as well as the selection and involvement of the experts.
  • The Briefing Package required (which includes a list of questions, and requesting a meeting is possible). A specific briefing package template for parallel consultations shall be established by the Coordination Group, in consultation with the EMA and expert panels.
