Soon the medical device industry will be facing the final two deadlines for the FDA’s new regulations requiring a unique device identifier (UDI) on most devices and related labels and packaging.

Upcoming dates to remember

On September 24, 2018, a UDI must be used as a permanent marking directly on Class II medical devices intended to be used more than once and reprocessed before each use.
 
In addition, labels and packages for Class I and non-classified devices and software must bear a UDI as well.
 
On September 24, 2020, Class I devices intended to be used more than once must bear a UDI on the device itself.
 
If you’re a manufacturer or producer of labels and packages for these covered devices, you’ll need to be compliant to sell in the US market. This means you’ll need reliable labeling supplies to label your products and packaging and ensure your labels are readable and scannable throughout your products’ safe and appropriate use and disposal.
