The Unique\nDevice Identification (UDI)<\/a> system is a globally recognized system for\nidentifying and tracking medical devices throughout their distribution and use.\nIt was established by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enhance\npatient safety and improve the efficiency of medical device recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For class 1 medical devices, which are considered low risk\ndevices, the UDI requirements are more flexible than for higher risk devices. Class\n1 devices are exempt from the requirement to include a UDI on the device label\nif they are exempt from GMP regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDA has categorized Class 1 devices in two categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Class 1 devices that are considered as consumer\nhealth products.<\/li>
  2. Class 1 devices that are not considered as\nconsumer health products.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Class 1 devices that are considered as consumer health\nproducts are the devices that pose the lowest risk of which many are\n510(k)-exempt devices are sold directly to consumers over-the-counter in retail\nand online stores. Since these devices pose the lowest risk, FDA does not\nintend to enforce GUDID submission requirements under consumer health products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Class 1 devices that are not considered as consumer health\nproducts are the devices that are typically used in healthcare settings and are\noften subject to additional regulatory controls, such as 510k submission. Submission\nof UDI for these devices will be helpful in reducing medical errors and\nsimplify the integration of device use information into data systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Below are the compliance dates for class I medical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n Device Type\n <\/td>\n Compliance\n Date\n <\/td><\/tr>

    The UDI for class 1 medical devices must be in a\nhuman-readable format and a machine-readable format, such as a barcode or RFID\ntag. The UDI must also be submitted to the FDA’s Global Unique Device\nIdentification Database (GUDID), which is a publicly accessible database that\ncontains information on medical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The UDI system helps to ensure the safety and effectiveness\nof medical devices by enabling more accurate tracking and monitoring of these\nproducts throughout their lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
