FDA has released a final rule under which all medical devices will be marked with a Unique Device Identifier (UDI)<\/a> that will appear on the label and package of a device which is used to identify the devices through their distribution and usage of it. UDIs should be on the device labels in both a human-readable format and a machine-readable format (e.g., a barcode) unless the rule provides for an exception or alternative. The UDI should be marked directly on the devices that are intended for more than one use and has to be reprocessed before each use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A UDI consists two parts, Device Identifier (DI) and Product\nIdentifier (PI), where<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Device Identifier (DI) is a mandatory, fixed portion of a\nUDI which identifies the specific version or model of a device and its labeler.\nLabeler has to apply for New DI if there is any change in version or model of\nthe device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product Identifier (PI) which is a conditional and variable\nportion of a UDI is required to identify the lot or batch number of a specific\ndevice , serial number, expiration date, date of manufacture and the  distinct identification code(If applicable).\nPI will change for each lot or batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDA has accredited the following agencies in assignment of\nUDIs according to the UDI regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. GSI – http:\/\/<\/a>www.gs1.org<\/a>\/<\/a><\/li>
  2. Health Industry Business Communications Council (HIBCC) – http:\/\/<\/a>www.hibcc.org<\/a>\/<\/a><\/li>
  3. International Council for Commonality in Blood Banking Automation (ICCBBA – http:\/\/<\/a>www.iccbba.org<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Each\nissuing agency has a unique device identifier (UDI) format that was assessed\nand approved by FDA as part of its process for accrediting issuing agencies.\nAny changes to the format of the UDI by an issuing agency must be approved by\nFDA before implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Device labelers are required to submit information about each device to FDA\u2019s Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID), where the public can search and download information from GUDID at AccessGUDID<\/a>.  GUDID has a standard set of basic elements for each device with a UDI, which contains only DI that helps to get the device information in the database.  Product Identifiers (PI) are not part of GUDID<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Compliance\nDates issued by FDA in conjunction with UDI Final Rule are<\/p>\n\n\n\n
