The medical device industry is constantly evolving and facing more and more challenges.

Unique Device Identification (UDI) is a medical device identification system used by various global regulators.

With UDI, medical devices are uniquely identified, which increases patient safety and efficiency. This allows for better management of medical device recalls and reduces the risk of medical errors. 
The GS1 global standards comply with national and international UDI regulations and help manufacturers comply with European regulations, US FDA regulations and many other countries' regulations on UDI.
