Swissdamed, the Swiss registrations database, was originally due to go live in late 2023. As that date has now passed, Swissmedic have now officially announced that the new “Go Live” date is the second half of 2024.
What is Swissdamed?
Swissdamed is the IT system that will make sure that Manufacturers and Economic Operators comply with registration requirements as per the MedDo and IvDO. The system is structured around two main interconnected modules, which are accessible to registered users. Additionally, the system includes a freely accessible search function for public use.
How will this be released?
Currently Swissmedic is planning to release the individual modules in various stages:
-
-
- Registration of companies and economic operators – ACT module (available in the 2nd half of 2024)
- Swissdamed – freely accessible platform (available in the 2nd half of 2024)
- Registration of devices – UDI module (available as a minimal viable product (MVP) 4 months after the ACT module goes live)
-
Development regarding the ACT module has been completed; while work on the UDI module is currently in progress.
