UDI: The Reality
UDI: The How and the Why Idea dates back to To Err is Human report Led to FDA Barcode Medication Rule Based on existing NDC standard CDRH realized lack of similar identifier for medical devices UDI included in the FDAAA of 2007 FDASIA requires final rule by June 2013 The Secretary shall promulgate regulations establishing a unique device identification system for medical devices requiring the label of devices to bear a unique identifier, unless the Secretary requires an alternative placement or provides an exception for a particular device or type of device. The unique identifier shall adequately identify the device through distribution and use, and may include information on the lot or serial number. 6
UDI: The What UDI: A Three-Part System 1. Assign a UDI compliant code to covered products 2. Label products with human and machine readable codes 3. Populate and maintain data in UDI database(s) UDI Code Assign and label products: Device ID (static data) Production ID, e.g., lot, serial #, expiration date (dynamic data) UDI Database Device ID the key Specific static data Web Submission and/or HL7 SPL Rules around roles and entry AIDC Choice of auto id carrier Linear barcode 2-D barcode RFID Other 7
Assign Codes UDI: The Details 1) Determine which products require codes and when Current Proposed Timelines: Class III devices 12 months after publication of final rule Implants & life sustaining / supporting devices 24 months after publication of final rule (FDASIA requirement) Class II devices 36 months after publication of final rule Class I devices 60 months after publication of final rule Kits and combination products have their own UDIs UDIs at each packaging level 2) Get codes from one of the authorized issuing agency (part of the ISO 15459 series of standards) 3) Add production data (serial and/or lot numbers; expiration dates) if production is controlled by such information
UDI: Packaging Hierarchy Unique Device Identification Database (UDID) Package Illustration Package Configuration Examples Base Package Primary DI = 001 Package DI =002 Package configurations inherit the Base Package device attributes Contains 4 units of Base Package DI 001 Quantity per package = 4 Box of 100 gloves Device Count = 100 Package DI =003 Package DI = 004 Contains 10 units of Base Package DI 001 Quantity per package = 10 Contains 5 units of Base Package DI 003 Quantity per package = 5 9 9
UDI: The Steps Label products w/ both human and machine readable codes 1) Determine which auto id carrier to use Consider what is best for product, for customers 2) Determine if existing labels have the required space. Does artwork or packaging need to change? 3) Determine if your printing systems need upgrades. Can they handle dynamic data? 4) How will you handle direct part marking if required?

UDI Application: 2-D Barcode Production Data Product Identification GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) Product Information Lot / Batch / Expiration Date Labels shown here are drafts for illustrative purposes only. Not to be used for product labeling.
More Labeling Considerations Where are covered products produced? Into which markets are they sold? Do you need to add printing capabilities to accommodate dynamic (production) data? If so, how will that impact space and layout on the production floor? How will you handle validation of new IT equipment and processes? Do you perform late-stage labeling in warehouses or with third party logistics providers? How will their operations be affected? Do you have kits or combo products? Do you label each of them late-stage and then combine?
That was the Easy Part!

Maximizing Value To Achieve Return from Required Investment, Manufacturers need to view as a strategy, not a project Consider Objectives, Benefits, Impacts: Why are you doing this?

Who, what is impacted? Marketing Technology Regulatory UDI Readiness Inventory Process engineering
UDI for Regulatory Master Data Management The FDA plans to make UDI the key for master data management within the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, and as manufacturers we need to think similarly within our organization. By using the UDI as the foundation for their regulatory master data, manufacturers can achieve a more consolidated view of product data within their own organizations that they can use for different regulatory submissions.

UDI: Back to Reality To meet expected UDI requirements, GHX suppliers have identified 70 120 individual attributes to collect depending on the product. At one customer, >60 individuals from 10+ functional areas with 5 sister companies are involved in UDI compliance efforts. After 6 months of work, one supplier found that both an owned, US-based OEM and a foreign division were duplicating efforts. Initial customer test loads into GHX s GDSN certified data pool routinely resulted in rejection of 50% of lines due to format, accuracy and incomplete records.
