Action Required for Healthcare Facilities
The medical device law revised in the spring of this year tightens the regulatory requirements for all players in the distribution chain. In our series of articles, we have already reported on the new requirements with which manufacturers, importers and distributors are confronted as a result. Finally, this article provides an overview of the need for action arising from the current revision for healthcare facilities such as hospitals, practice facilities and pharmacies.
Distributors of Medical Devices
Switzerland has revised its medical device legislation in close alignment with EU regulations. The revision aims to improve the quality and safety of medical devices and thus patient safety. To this end, the regulatory requirements for the players involved are being tightened considerably. Having already presented the new requirements for manufacturers and importers , this article provides an overview of the need for action resulting from the revision for distributors of medical devices.
