Regulatory Affairs News

28.11.2024

European Commission

MDCG 2024-14 on the Master UDI-DI (MUDI) that replaces UDI-DI for standard contact lenses that share a combination of design parameters (at least base curve and diameter).

  • Terminology and conditions for the assignment of Master UDI-DI (MUDI) are introduced.
  • MUDI assignment shall apply from November 9th, 2025.
  • The rules for the UDI carrier apply to the MUDI. Requirements on labelling of contact lens blisters are dependent on space constraints. Higher levels of packaging shall have their own Master UDI-DI, if applicable.
  • EUDAMED registration with MUDI is clarified. Manufacturers should engage with an UDI issuing entity as soon as possible, and at least before the Vigilance and Post-Market Surveillance module of EUDAMED becomes mandatory.
  • Vigilance reporting shall provide MUDI and UDI-PI (EU MDR devices) in the reporting forms. For “legacy” contact lenses, Eudamed ID or UDI-DI shall be used in the reporting in EUDAMED.

Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH)

In preparation of the upcoming amendments to the MedDO and IvDO, the below explanatory reports have been published. Draft versions of the amended MedDO and IvDO are not yet available.

  • Explanatory report – Adaptation of the transitional arrangements and addition of information on the authorised representative (German version; other languages available: French, Italian)
    • Adapting the update in Reg.(EU) 2024/1860, in regards of the IVDR extended transitional provision.
    • Article 87 (requiring CH-REP particulars on the label of IVDs not intended for self-test from 31-Mar-2025) will be withdrawn and replaced by the new Article 15 §9 that makes the exception permanent, i.e. CH-REP for IVDs not intended for self-test CE-marked under the IVDR can continue to be indicated on an accompanying document.
  • Explanatory Report − Product registration obligation (German version; other languages available: French, Italian)
    • Product registration in the UDI module of swissdamed shall become mandatory from 1-Jul-2026.
    • Registration period will run from 01-Jul-2026 through 31-Dec-2026.
    • Products to be registered:
      – All medical devices, systems and procedure packs, and IVDs placed on the Swiss market after 1-Jul-2026.
      – However, the CH-REP of foreign manufacturers and PP/System producers (or the Swiss manufacturer or PP/S producer) shall immediately register any EU MDR/IVDR-compliant products placed on the Swiss market from 26-Nov-2017 if a Vigilance case needs to be reported.
      – No product registration at all for “legacy” or “old” medical devices, systems / procedure packs, and IVDs.

CAREFUL! There is an important translation misalignment in the French version vs. the German/Italian versions:

  • DE/IT: “All products placed on the Swiss market after July 1st, 2026 must be registered in swissdamed, regardless of where the manufacturer is based.”
  • FR: “Manufacturers are required to register all devices they place on the Swiss market from 1 July 2026, regardless of where their headquarters are located.”

Decomplix considers the German version as reference. This means that it is not certain that registration of devices in swissdamed’s UDI module will be incumbent upon the foreign manufacturer. In fact, it seems unlikely that foreign manufacturers will be required to upload information in swissdamed given the fact that the CH-REP will be the entity responsible for registering products placed on the Swiss market prior to 1-Jul-2026 in case of Vigilance reporting.
