Interview for BioLago
In an interview for BioLago – the health network, our co-founder and CEO Karina Candrian talks about the typical challenges startups are facing when trying to bring a new medical device to market.
Karina for example highlights the importance to think about market access and regulatory issues early on. Ideally as soon as you have a suitable product solution. The intended use and properties of a product determine its classification, which in turn has a significant impact on the approval process, budget and time to market.
Read the interview with Karina (in German) on the BioLago blog.

Why do we need a Swiss Authorized Representative (Swiss AR)?
Health Tech Cluster Switzerland’s event “Why do we need a Swiss Authorized Representative (Swiss AR)?” last week showed that interest remains high.
Our three Key Take Aways:
- The swissmedic sheet clearly lays out the two fundamental levels: Physical product responsibility – manufacturer, importer, distributor; Formal and safety concerns – CH REP.
- The role of the importer is significantly enhanced in the logistics chain, as he ensures that only products that comply with the MepV are placed on the market.
- Contrary to all expectations, swissmedic does not specify the location of the “Person Responsible for Regulatory Compliance”. The decisive factor is that he or she is able to exercise the responsibility in accordance with the legal requirements
Many thanks again to Stefan Leuthold for inviting Ulrike Neuberger. It was a pleasure to organize the event together with Beni Hirt and Michael Maier!
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us!

New Service: Swiss Authorized Representative
Foreign Medical Device Manufacturers need a Swiss Authorized Representative to sell their product in Switzerland
What many feared has happened. The Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between the EU and Switzerland has failed. We at Effectum Medical have been preparing for this situation, and are pleased to offer the service of Swiss Authorised Representative for foreign medical technology and in-vitro diagnostics companies.
It is a meaningful complement to the founding team’s vision of facilitating product innovation in medical technology and, in the future, providing continuously optimal patien care in Switzerland.
