UDI Compliance: What Parts of a Medical Device Need a UDI?

Any individual accessory or component that a manufacturer puts into commercial distribution must have its own Unique Device Identifier (UDI).  Spare parts for devices do not need a UDI.  An important part of the UDI compliance process is to determine which components and accessories are spare parts and therefore do not need a UDI.

Our team of UDI experts will assess your products, the markets where they are sold and determine an implementation strategy for the changes that need to be made. USDM’s assessment methodology is extensive and includes the labels and packaging, the management of identification changes to each product, the changes to PLM, ERP, EPCIS and packaging systems, changes to printing, vision inspection and warehouse/inventory management systems and interfaces to the GUDID.
