Driving Unique Device Identification compliance puts focus on patient safety
With a focus on improving patient safety, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognised the potential risks of not being able to accurately identify each medical device out in the world.
As a result, Unique Device Identification (UDI) was introduced. Additional countries have also enacted regulations. For UDI to be effective, it necessitates a harmonised and consistent approach.
Johnson & Johnson Supply Chain (JJSC) has a comprehensive UDI program enabling it to meet compliance milestones. Collaboration, data management and product identification are key components. JJSC supports the use of GS1 standards and assigns Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) to Johnson & Johnson company medical devices.
