UDI Cmpliance Service
What is UDI? The US Fd and Drug Administratin (FDA) has issued a ruling that medical devices must cnfrm t a Unique Device Identificatin (UDI) standard. The UK Department f Health (DOH) has als issued a NHS eprcurement strategy mandating that medical devices must cnfrm t a UDI standard. T cmply with UDI manufacturers must apply labels n medical devices that cntain a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) and submit a set f data t a central database. Why d yu need t take actin nw? If yur cmpany manufactures prducts that are sld either int the US Healthcare marketplace and/r the UK NHS, whether directly r via distributin, then achieving cmpliance is crucial t retain yur ability t cntinue selling yur prduct(s). With an average implementatin time f 6 mnths any cmpany nt engaging n UDI at an early stage may fail t meet the cmpliance deadlines set by the FDA and DOH. Hw will UDI affect my business? If yu fail t cmply yu will n lnger be able t sell yur prducts. Hw d I achieve cmpliance? Kdit has designed a cmpliance service that will help yu t: Achieve Initial Cmpliance Help yu Maintain Cmpliance Minimise the Impact n yur Business Minimise the cst t yur business. The Kdit cmpliance service is designed fr any manufacturer with a requirement t cnfrm t either the FDA r the UK UDI rule. We will guide yu thrugh every aspect f UDI cmpliance
