In 2025, Swissmedic carried out 28 inspections of reprocessing, maintenance and vigilance activities for medical devices at 26 Swiss hospitals and two service providers. The results of the inspections show that there is still a considerable need for action to ensure fulfilment of legal requirements. At the same time, Swissmedic’s market surveillance activities are having a positive impact in terms of the signal they send and their steering effect. Several hospitals recognised the need for improvement at an early stage and have planned or already initiated actions to improve device safety of their own volition.
