On-Demand Webinar
To promote global harmonization, the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) set out basic UDI requirements, including recommended "shared" data elements, in their guidance document Unique Device Identification ( ) of Medical Devices. However, as regulators, purchasers, and other global stakeholders begin to develop and implement UDI (or UDI-like) systems, they are also trying to address device identification initiatives and support national or local concerns (e.g., counterfeits, traceability, cost-control/reimbursement).
These new use cases create challenges for device manufacturers who must establish and maintain robust systems and processes that allow them to submit to various systems and stakeholders the ever-growing (and ever-changing) product information.
This discussion will include:
- Changes in regulatory, commercial, and patient-safety information requirements
- Ways in which device manufacturers can address these growing needs
- How to think locally, nationally, and globally to minimize compliance burdens
