Patient monitoring and neurology device distributors in Switzerland: 65 licensed establishments
The Bastion Hale Distributor Index lists 65 establishments in Switzerland whose registry records include patient monitoring and neurology: 4 with a channel role (importer, distributor, wholesaler or authorised representative), 16 registration holders without a channel role, and 45 registered as manufacturer or exporter only, out of 666 medical device establishments in Switzerland overall. The records come from US FDA (openFDA), EUDAMED, Health Canada and web, last seen on 23 October 2026.
Patient monitoring, neurology and physical medicine covers monitors, pulse oximetry, EEG and EMG, rehabilitation and wearable devices.

Software and connectivity now feature in many registrations.
