The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
is proposing to establish a unique device identification system to
implement the requirement added to the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by section 226 of the Food and Drug
Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA),. Section 226 of
FDAAA amended the FD&C Act to add new section 519(f), which
directs FDA to promulgate regulations establishing a unique device
identification system for medical devices. The system established
by this rule would require the label of medical devices and device
packages to include a unique device identifier (UDI), except where
the rule provides for alternative placement of the UDI or provides
an exception for a particular device or type of device such as
devices sold over-the-counter and low risk devices. The UDI would
also be required to be directly marked on the device itself for
certain categories of devices for which the labeling requirement
may not be sufficient.The rule would require the submission of
information concerning each device to a database that FDA intends
to make public, to ensure that the UDI can be used to adequately
identify the device through its distribution and use.
US Code:

system for medical devices.
