Additional information
Manufacturers seeking to place medical devices on the Swiss market must appoint a Swiss Authorised Representative (CH-REP) if they are not based in Switzerland. This role is critical following the end of mutual recognition with the EU for medical devices. Obelis facilitates this by assuming the CH-REP role, ensuring technical documentation is compliant with Swiss regulations (MedDO) and EU MDR, and managing product registration with Swissmedic. They emphasize the need for professionalism and qualifications at a level equivalent to EU IVDR standards for this role. For non-EU manufacturers without an existing EU Authorized Representative, appointing a Swiss Authorized Representative is an immediate requirement.
