The U.S. FDA UDI Rule establishes a unique device identification system for medical devices. Under the rule, medical devices will be marked with a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) that will appear on the label and package of a device. UDIs will be presented on device labels in both a human-readable format and a machine-readable format (e.g., a barcode). Reusable devices that need to be “reprocessed” before reuse will also be directly marked with a UDI. In addition, device labelers will submit device information to a U.S. FDA database called the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID).*

The GS1 Standards for U.S. FDA UDI Online Certificate Course was developed to help medical device labelers avoid common mistakes and receive guidance on how to use GS1 Standards for the U.S. FDA UDI Rule.

Attendees will gain a deep understanding of GS1 identification, barcode, and data standards that can be used to implement U.S. FDA UDI Rule requirements, including, but not limited to:

  • The GS1 Standards that can be used to implement U.S. FDA UDI requirements

  • How to use GS1 Application Identifiers (AIs) for my Production Identifiers (PIs)

  • How to create properly formatted GS1 Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) for use as Device Identifiers (DIs)

  • Options for submitting data to the U.S. FDA GUDID
