FDA UDI Compliance

fda udi

The FDA UDI rule on the establishment of a Unique Device Identification System requires most medical devices distributed in the U.S. to carry a Unique Device Identifier (UDI). This system, comprised of the UDI code, application of the UDI to device labeling and packaging, and a related database, is designed to provide a standardized way to identify devices across all information sources. The FDA rule mandates a linear barcode, 2d barcode or RFID data carrier be included on all marking. Identification Labs provides barcode analysis and certification  for UDI compliance.  Using only GS1 certified verification equipment, label and direct marking samples can be evaluated.
