UDI Assignment

  • Is a UDI assigned to each device and applicable packaging level using an accredited issuing agency? *
  • Does the UDI include a device identifier (DI) and, where applicable, a production identifier (PI)? *
  • Is a system in place to identify product status throughout realization? *

Marking & Label Application

  • Is the UDI carrier presented in both human-readable and AIDC (e.g., barcode) formats on the label? *
  • For reusable devices requiring reprocessing, is UDI applied as direct part marking? *
  • Is UDI label placement and legibility verified as part of labeling control? *

Database Submission

  • Are UDI data elements submitted to the applicable database (FDA GUDID and/or EUDAMED)? *
  • Are submitted UDI records verified for accuracy and completeness? *
  • Are UDI database records updated within the required timeframe when data elements change? *

Traceability & Change Control

  • Does traceability enable linking the UDI-DI to production records and distribution (implantable/high-risk devices)? *
  • Is a new device identifier (DI) issued when a change triggers a new UDI-DI per the applicable rules? *
  • Are UDI records retained and updated when device attributes change? *
