A Medical Device is…
"an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro
reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component part, or accessory
which is:
recognized in the official National Formulary, or the United States
Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to them,
intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the
cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or other
animals, or
intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or other
animals, and which does not achieve its primary intended purposes through
chemical action within or on the body of man or other animals and which is not
dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary
intended purposes."
What’s UDI All About?

“The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) is issuing a final rule to
establish a system to adequately
identify devices through distribution
and use…”
What’s UDI All About?
”This rule requires the label of
medical devices to include a
unique device identifier
(UDI)…”
“The labeler must submit product
information concerning devices to FDA's
Global Unique Device Identification
Database (GUDID)…”
What’s UDI All About?

OK, so we have to identify things with some UDI thingy &
send some info to a database?
Sounds easy enough!
Let’s look in a little more detail…
Know your DUNs No and
D&B Address
Ensure you have your
company prefix from your
chosen Issuing Agency

Get all the data together for
labeling and for the GUDID
Database

Have your GMDN account
and get the nomenclature
for your products

Develop labels and package
marking for each layer of
packaging

QA Plan to validate labeling
and barcodes

Test – Validate – Test some more!

What’s UDI All About?
What is a UDI?

The UDI is defined as consisting of 2 parts:

The company is called
“The Labeler “ in the Rule

Device Identifier – DI
This identifies the company and the model of the device

Production Identifier – PI
Production data such as Lot number, Expiration Date, Serial Number
The information must be provided in plain text and in AIDC form.

The Rule is flexible on what AIDC technology is used!
What’s UDI All About?
What is Device Identifier (DI)?
DI = the static part of the UDI.
Consists of:
Company Prefix + Item Number

These will depend on the Standards being used

?
What’s UDI All About?
What is Production Identifier (PI)?
PI = the dynamic part of the UDI.
Consists of one or more of:
Lot number
Serial number
Expiration date
Manufacturing date

Flexcon’s View

AIDC in Modern Healthcare
What is a medical device?
The Product Code assigned to a device is based upon the medical device
product classification designated under 21 CFR Parts 862-892. Three
classes exist today.

A very wide range of medical products such
as:
Traditional hospital based devices (beds, ventilator, monitors, infusion pumps)
Implants (teeth, hips, etc…)
Patient/home use devices (glucometers)
Disposables, accessories (glucose test strips, catheters)
In vitro diagnostic devices (IVDs) – both clinical lab and Point of Care (POC).
Those used in alternative sites – e.g., homecare, dental
Health Information Technology (HIT)
Convenience kits, Combination products
28
Today’s view without UDI
 Product tracking efforts and recall difficult

 Current systems allow product re-identification by every stakeholder in the supply
chain today
 Healthcare Supply Chain will be able to use the same Unique Device Identifier!

Two FDA systems are UDI and SNI

UDI: Unique Device Identification

FINAL Rule!!!

Medical devices
Patient care, diagnostic or treatment devices
Moving forward

SNI: Standardized Numeric Identification
Prescription drugs
Pharmaceuticals
Biologics
Vaccines
Stalled due to recent politics

Guidance
Timelines of Final Rule
Implementation (compliance) timeframes are
generally the same from Proposed Rule:
Year 1: class III and devices licensed under PHS Act
Year 2: class II/I implants and lifesupporting/sustaining
Year 3: rest of class II
Year 5: class I

Note For Direct Marking!
Compliance dates are extended by 2 years
Except for FDASIA (year 2) devices – still at year 2.
The start date is 9/24/13
What Changed from Proposed
Rule High Level?
DIFFERENCES from the PROPOSED RULE:
Combination Products and Kits topics
ironed out
Packaged Single Use Devices (SUDs)
exempt with a common sense
approach (the band-aid in the box
issue)
Direct Marking for direct patient reuse / sterilization equipment
Direct part marking for organic
implants not mandated is another
common sense logical concession that
was well received

•

•
•

New Version or Model revised
NDC/NHRIC Numbers
UPC Exception for Class 1 more
logical approach
Definitions are clearer in the rule
GUDID database has more quality
attributes
Issuing Agencies are now only
private entities and not nonprofit, public, or government.
What does a possible UDI look like?
E.g., The new GTIN that is purchased and linked to the Enterprises’
production information enables the benefits of the UDI initiative
Goals of the UDI Initiative
Reduction of medical errors
Identify compatibility issues
Improve medical device reports (MDRs)
Identify and reduce product counterfeiting
More efficient purchasing, reimbursement, and supply chain
management, thus lowering costs
Enhance medical device asset utilization
Enhance in post-market device surveillance
Support recall of medical devices
Enable chain of custody tracking
Capture device information in Electronic Health Record
UDI Transactions are Three Parts
Reformat your data using an approved
registration authority
Encode the data in AIDC format
Print your label
Label your product
Register your UDI in the FDA data base
Ship the Product
FDA’s UDI Database
Database will be an open, public
database, access shall be free of charge
UDI Device Identifier will be primary key in
the database with associated product
data elements defined
Manufacturers will be responsible for
submitting and maintaining their own
data in the database
All data submissions will need to be in the
HL7 Structured Product Labeling (SPL)
format.
