Sterilization compliance for dermatology practices in Switzerland

Sterilization requirements for surgical dermatology

Kantonsarztamt / Service du médecin cantonal · Cantonal Health Directorate · SGDV (Swiss Society of Dermatology and Venereology)

Dermatologists in Switzerland who perform invasive procedures — skin biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy with reusable instruments — operate under the Medical Professions Act (MedBG, SR 811.11) and the Medical Devices Ordinance (MePV, SR 812.213) Art. 71 and 72 for any reusable medical devices. Switzerland is NOT within the direct scope of the EU Medical Devices Regulation — MePV is the governing law, harmonized with EU law via SN EN ISO standards under the Schweiz-EU MRA. The GPA 2022 and Class B compliance with SN EN 13060 apply as best practice to any practice processing invasive reusable instruments. Documented traceability is expected by the Kantonsarztamt under MePV Art. 72.
