We can help you with GS1 standards
As an accredited party we can help you comply with requirements using GS1 barcodes and GS1 Data Source Healthcare.
Manufacturers must provide all medical devices on the implant list with a UDI (Unique Device Identification) and share corresponding article data with healthcare institutions.
We can help suppliers and healthcare institutions comply with the agreements. How does that work?
For manufacturers:
- Place a UDI (identification code) on all packaging of medical devices (and in vitro diagnostic medical devices) and sometimes also on the medical device itself. With GS1 barcodes (Global Trade Item Number) you can create a UDI.
- Put the UDI in both text and symbol clearly and easily scannable on all packaging levels.
- Identify product models and/or product families with a GMN (Global Model Number).
- Exchange product data using a centralized product database with clients, such as healthcare institutions. You can use GS1 Data Source Healthcare for this.
- Apply for an SRN (Single Registration Number) and LUA (Local User Administrator) to access Eudamed. (This number is issued by the MDR)
