What Data Needs to be Included on Unique Device Identifier (UDI)?

A UDI is a unique numeric or alphanumeric code that consists of two parts:

  • Device Identifier (DI): a mandatory, fixed portion of a UDI that identifies the labeler and the specific version or model of a device.
  • Production Identifier (PI): a conditional, variable portion of a UDI that identifies one or more of the following when included on the label of a device:
    • lot or batch number within which a device was manufactured;
    • serial number of a specific device;
    • expiration date of a specific device;
    • date a specific device was manufactured;
    • distinct identification code required by §1271.290(c) for a human cell, tissue, or cellular and tissue-based product (HCT/P) regulated as a device
