Our Readiness Check gives you certainty and helps you avoid unpleasant surprises.

In 2025, Swissmedic ran a market surveillance campaign among Swiss importers of medical devices to verify compliance with the MedDO and IvDO. 57% of the importers had deficiencies. Swissmedic therefore intends to continue these inspections in 2026.

For many importers, the obligations like product conformity verification, storage and transport conditions, traceability, and complaint handling are a challenge.

Don’t risk business disruption. Decomplix helps you prepare – pragmatically and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Swissmedic inspections

How will I know if my company is being inspected by Swissmedic?

If you have been selected by Swissmedic for this year’s priority action as part of the random sample, you will be notified separately by registered letter.

How much time do I have to prepare for an announced inspection?

If you receive a letter from Swissmedic, this will usually be around 30 days before the date of the inspection. However, you will be required to provide initial information within a week.

What do I need to consider when preparing for an inspection?

Before the inspection, Swissmedic requires that they confirm the date and location of the inspection and provide the name of a contact person responsible for ensuring compliance with the importer’s obligations. 

You must also be ready to provide a list of all medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices that you import, including various details such as the risk class of the products.

Last, you should be familiar with Swissmedic’s guidelines. Visit our blog article for more information.
