FDA’s Regulation of Unique Device Identification (UDI) - Are you Prepared?

Why Should You Attend:

In July 2012, the FDA issued the draft regulations for Unique Device Identification (UDI). This draft regulation describes new requirements of labeling medical devices as well as providing information to a new database that FDA maintains.

This webinar explores the explicit requirements as well as the hidden requirements in the draft UDI regulation.

Your Quality Management System (QMS) should be able to address these questions quickly and easily. If not, then your team needs to attend this webinar!

• Do you know what needs to be on a label today and how the draft UDI regulation will change the label?
• If you ship a device in packages of 1, 5, 10, and 25, will you be able to mark each package with only one UDI?
• Do you know who will issue the unique code for your device? If you think it is FDA, you may be surprised!
• Can you state the fixed and variable elements that need to be on your device label?
• Do you know the correct format for a date?
• Is it true or false that FDA will require you to use only 2D barcodes?
• Can you put the marking on the label only? Does it have to be on the device?
• What is the responsibility for the designated person to inform the FDA of each code?
• Will you need a GMDN code for your device? What is a GMDN code?
