UDI Labeling & Barcode Standards
Presenter : Alan & Prasanna

UDI Representation:
According to UDI final rule, the UDI must appear on every device as device label or direct marking.
It is presented in two forms:
(1) Easily readable plain-text or Human Readable Interpretation (HRI), and
(2) Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology.
Direct Marking (DM):
A device that must bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label must also bear a permanent marking providing
the UDI on the device itself if the device is intended to be used more than once and intended to be reprocessed
before each use.
The UDI provided through a direct marking on a device may be:
(1) Identical to the UDI that appears on the label of the device, or
(2) A different UDI used to distinguish the unpackaged device from any device package containing the device.
Date Format:
The format is: the year, using four digits: followed by the month, using two digits; followed by the day, using two
digits; each separated by hyphens. For example, January 2, 2014, must be presented as 2014-01-02.
UDI Compliant Labeling

CHALLENGES MITIGATION
• Selection of IA based on
the device type and their
applicability
• Profile the devices and
based on their portfolio
apply to respective IA
• Every device label
marketed by the labeler
needs to be reworked
• Based on the selected IA
the artwork team needs to
redesign the labels
• Inventories of preprinted
stationery of labels
• Plan earlier to avoid
wastage of labels
• Impact of DM (Direct
Marking) on applicable
devices
• DM applicability for
devices needs to be
identified and the
production line must be
equipped with
infrastructure to support
DM requirements. The
production staff must be
trained on the new
infrastructure
Format of the numbering and the standard for AIDC is
mandated by the Issuing Agency (IA).
Every IA has a different set of numbering and AIDC
standards
Industry Challenges
Based on the IA selection, the labeler has to rework the
label format through their artwork and publishing team
to accommodate the UDI in both HRI and AIDC formats
This exercise needs to be done for each and every device
that is marketed by the labeller
This again implies the need to start the UDI compliancy
activity at the earliest

RFID in Medical Devices
Presenter : Alan

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
RFID has the potential in healthcare to achieve improvements in both supply chain productivity and patient
safety applications.
The ISO approach to RFID implementation is based upon healthcare product supplier migration from existing
barcode or 2-D symbologies to RFID.
Barcoding will continue to be used in the future, and will co-exist with RFID. As with all technologies, each will
be utilized in the functions for which it offers the highest benefit/cost ratio and comparative advantage.
RFID utilizes data chips that do not have to be visible to be scanned. RFID tags are unique serial numbers that
allow tracking of the lowest unit of measure that is tagged.
The volume of data contained within RFID tags is dependent on size and type, containing up to 128 kilobytes
of data.
An RFID tag can be one-time use or re-useable. RFIDs are the most expensive of the barcode options.
RFID technology enables manufacturers of reprocessed or reusable medical devices to comply with the direct
part marking requirement of the FDA Final Rule for UDI.
ISO/IEC 15418 (Incorporating ANS MH10.8.2 Data Identifiers), and ISO/IEC 15961, 15962 and 15963 are
normative references for UDI RFID data protocols.

UDI Labeling for Different Device Types

Single Use Devices
Single-use devices (SUDs) come under an exception of not having an UDI, provided that:
• The UDI appears on the device package
• All SUDs of a single version/model are distributed together in a single device package
• They are to be stored in that device package until removed for use
• They are not meant for individual commercial distribution
• Implants that fall under SUDs do not have this exception
If the devices are intended for individual commercial distribution, the device label and
package for these individual devices is required to bear a UDI
Single-use devices that are implants which are subjected to additional processing and
manufacturing are exempted from having a permanent UDI on the device

Combination Products / Kits
Combination products are required to have an UDI, however the device constituent part of that
combination product or kit are exempt from the UDI requirement. Combination products include;
Convenience Kits, in-vitro diagnostic kits, and HCT/Ps, etc.
Each component, sub-system or accessory that is considered a medical device and is commercially
available needs a separate UDI unless the components are part of a convenience, medical
procedure, IVD kit or configurable medical device system that is marked with its own UDI.
If the combination product instead has an NDC code, it is exempt from the UDI requirements
however in that case, the device constituent part must have the UDI unless the product is a single
entity combination product where the drug/device are physically, chemically or otherwise
combined.

Stand-Alone Software
The UDI Rule does not provide any special requirements for a device that contains software as a
component of the device, but does require stand-alone medical software to be labeled with a UDI.
All stand-alone software, whether packaged or unpackaged (e .g., software downloaded from a
website), must provide its UDI through either or both of the following:
• An easily readable plain-text statement displayed whenever the software is started
• An easily readable plain-text statement displayed through a menu command (e.g., an
“About...” menu command)
Stand-alone software that is distributed in packaged form is subject to the same UDI labeling
requirements as any other medical device -- the device label and device package must bear a UDI in
plain-text and AIDC formats.
Stand-alone software that is distributed in both packaged and unpackaged form may be identified
with the same DI. Stand-alone software that is not distributed in packaged form must convey the
version number in its production identifier.

Exemptions and Highlights
Presenter : Alan

General Exemptions
Single Use Device Exception (multiple in 1 Package, any class/except implants): UDI required on device package,
not required on device label.
Class III Extension +1 year, if request is approved.
GMP exempt Class I devices are exempt completely from the UDI requirements; however, the standardized date format
requirement still applies.
Single-use contact lenses are subject to the exemption from the need to be individually labeled with a UDI under
§ 801.30(a)(3).
Boxes or containers used explicitly for shipping and transportation are exempted from UDI requirements
Direct marking is now only required for devices that are reusable i.e. device intended to be reprocessed before each use.
There are provisions for exemptions from direct marking if the marking would affect the device safety or effectiveness or if
it is technologically not feasible.
Device constituents which are part of the combination product or kit and not commercially available are exempt from the
UDI requirement.
A Medical device used solely for research, teaching, or chemical analysis, and not intended for any clinical use.
Veterinary medical device need not to have a UDI.
PI attribute information is optional for Class-I devices

Medical Device in Inventory
UDI requirements apply to devices placed into commercial distribution after the compliance date that
applies to the device.
A finished device manufactured and labeled prior to its compliance date and held in inventory is
excepted from UDI requirements for three years after the compliance date.
This exception applies to both products held in inventory by the labeler and those consigned to a
hospital or other potential purchaser and held in inventory, but not yet purchased, by the potential
purchaser.
This exception applies to all UDI requirements.

Implantable Devices
The UDI Rule does not require an implantable device to be directly marked with its UDI.
CDRH believes that the UDI label and package requirements will provide for adequate identification of an
implantable device up to the point where it is implanted.
CDRH also acknowledges the common practice of recording information about implanted devices both in the
patient's health record (EHRs and PHRs), and on a card provided to the patient, and they expect health care
providers will incorporate UDIs into both of these types of records.
UDI – Small Labels
The final rule does not specify the type of label that is required to bear a UDI. It is up to the labeler to determine an
appropriate method to apply the UDI to the device label. An add-on label, in some instances, may be appropriate.
However, a UDI must be included on the device label and every device package.
Device labels not able to accommodate both AIDC and HRI should “Request for an Exception from or Alternative to a
Unique Device Identifier Requirement—Proposed § 801-35; § 801.55 of the Final Rule.”
