ABOUT A UNIQUE DEVICE IDENTIFIER


A UDI is composed of two parts:

Device Identifier (DI) - A unique numeric or alphanumeric code specific to a


device version or model.

Production Identifier(s) (PI) - Numeric or alphanumeric codes that identify


production information for a device and can include the following:

The lot or batch number;

The serial number;

The expiration date;

The date the device was manufactured;

For a Human Cell, Tissue or Cellular or Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P)


regulated as a device, the distinct identification code that allows the manufacturer
to associate the HCT/P to the donor.
Therefore, UDI = DI + PI.
UDIs are created based on international standards for unique identification. Private
organizations, called "Issuing Agencies", are accredited by the FDA to operate a
system for the issuance of UDIs based on these standards.
A unique device identifier (UDI) on a device label appears in both plain text and in
machine-readable format. Below is an example of a unique device identifier (UDI)
from GS1, one of the FDA-accredited issuing agencies. It uses a 1D barcode for its
machine-readable format.

Human Readable Barcode:


(01)12345678901234(17)140102(11)100102(10)A1234(21)1234
In GS1's system, the numbers in the parentheses indicate the different parts of the
UDI.
Device Identifier (DI) - 12345678901234
Production Identifiers (PI):

Expiration Date: 140102

Manufacturing Date: 100102

Lot Number: A1234

Serial Number: 1234


ABOUT GUDID

The Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID - pronounced "Good


ID") is a database administered by the FDA as part of the UDI system.
The GUDID contains device identification information submitted by device
companies to the FDA. The GUDID contains ONLY the Device Identifier (DI), which
serves as the primary key to obtain information in the database. Production
Identifiers (PI) are not submitted to or stored in the GUDID, but GUDID data
indicates which PIs are on the device label.
Many data elements in the GUDID correspond to information on the medical device
label. The figure below shows a fictitious medical device label and identifies the
GUDID data elements that appear on the label. Please refer to the FDA UDI
website for more information about GUDID data elements.
