XML upload
swissdamed accepts XML files that comply with EUDAMED specifications. The EUDAMED application provides various upload services, which are described in the official document: EUDAMED Services Definition.
swissdamed supports both “device service” methods for uploads, as described in the corresponding chapter:
GET service This service allows economic operators to download XML files directly from the restricted section of EUDAMED. Further information can be found in the section “Download Devices or SPPs data in a structured format (XML)” of the UDI User Guide.
POST service: This service allows manufacturers to generate the XML files themselves for a bulk upload into EUDAMED.
In swissdamed, a 1:1 relationship between Basic UDI-DI and UDI-DI is required for manual XML uploads. A maximum of 300 Basic UDI-DI / UDI-DI pairs can be uploaded in the same XML file.
swissdamed does not accept other upload services supported by EUDAMED, such as the BASIC UDI-DI service.
XML files must be compatible with EUDAMED’s XSD schema version 3.0.28. The XSD schema can be downloaded from EUDAMED’s technical documentation.
The technical documentation containing all information for implementing M2M registration of devices in swissdamed is available here:
To ensure that the M2M registration process has been correctly implemented, it is important that you test M2M registration on the playground before implementing M2M in the swissdamed production environment. This onboarding activity will ensure data accuracy and prevent costly corrections to device registrations.
