Keeping Your Eye On UDI

As medical technology accelerates at an almost incomprehensible pace, regulations and requirements increase correspondingly. With rapid innovation and the desire to speed time to market comes more rigorous requirements for safety and effectiveness, which drives the establishment of programs such as FDA’s unique device identification (UDI) system. UDI is designed to identify medical devices through their distribution and use in their labeling and to report certain information via publicly accessible databases.
