European Unique Device Identification Database (EUDID) – 2014

Unique Device Identification will become a mandatory requirement for medical devices over the next few years. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has put in place legislation for identifying and tracking Medical Devices. The European Commission has released proposed legislation for the same purpose which will be finalised and come into effect over the next few years. In addition to this the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) has recently released guidance notes on this subject.
