Medical Device UDI Labelling & Traceability System

UDI compliance for medical devices is not a label problem, it is a master data problem that ends at a label. We build the system that assigns your Device Identifiers, prints the Production Identifier at the line, submits records to the registries and traces an implant back to a lot.

DI and PI Structured Properly

Static Device Identifier per model, dynamic Production Identifier carrying lot, serial and expiry data.

Direct Part Marking

Laser and dot-peen marking for reusable instruments that survive repeated autoclave and washer cycles.

Registry Submission Handled

Records prepared, validated and submitted to GUDID and EUDAMED, with status tracked per device.

Field-to-Recall Traceability

Trace production, distribution, hospital receipt and implant records back to the affected lot or serial.

Our Medical Device UDI Labelling & Traceability System

UDI touches regulatory affairs, product master data, the label line and the recall process. We build the data, marking, submission and traceability as one system.

UDI-DI Assignment & Master Data
The Device Identifier is issued once per model and version, and every downstream label, registry record and complaint depends on it being right. We build the master data discipline that keeps it right.

Key Capabilities:

✓ GS1, HIBCC or ICCBBA issuing agency structures supported

✓ DI versioning rules tied to your design change control

✓ Catalogue, model and packaging level DI hierarchy maintained

✓ Full attribute set kept ready for registry submission

Label Design, AIDC & Direct Part Marking
Every UDI must appear in machine-readable and human-readable form, and on reusable instruments it must survive the reprocessing cycle. We select the marking method and prove it on your material.

Key Capabilities:

✓ GS1-128 and DataMatrix AIDC with human-readable interpretation printed

✓ Laser and dot-peen direct part marking on instruments

✓ Autoclave, washer and passivation durability testing of marks

✓ Label template control with version and approval history

Registry Submission & Regulatory Reporting
GUDID and EUDAMED each expect their own record structure, validation rules and submission cadence, and India's device rules under CDSCO continue to evolve. We handle the mapping and the resubmission loop.

Key Capabilities:

✓ US FDA GUDID record preparation, validation and submission

✓ EUDAMED actor, device and UDI-DI data submission and updates

✓ CDSCO medical device registration data held in one register

✓ Submission acknowledgements and rejection reasons tracked per device

Field Traceability, Implants & Recall
The point of UDI is answering who received a specific lot. We link production records to distribution, hospital and implant registers, so a field safety corrective action reaches the right patients.

Key Capabilities:

✓ Lot and serial traceability from production to hospital receipt

✓ Implant card data and patient-level traceability records maintained

✓ Recall and field safety corrective action workflow with evidence

✓ Complaint and adverse event linkage to a specific lot

Technologies That Power Our Solutions

Marking and capture technology is chosen against the device material, the sterilisation method and the surface actually available for a mark.

Laser & Dot-Peen Marking
Permanent marks applied directly to stainless steel, titanium and polymer instruments, with parameters proven against your own reprocessing cycle first.

Applications:

Instrument marking Implant marking Tray marking Small-surface codes
Label Printing & Verification
Print-and-apply and thermal transfer systems produce AIDC and human-readable UDI labels, verified by camera before the pack is finally closed.

Applications:

Carton labels Pouch labels Barcode grading Human-readable verification
Product Master Data Management
A controlled register holds every DI, attribute set and version, so a label, a registry record and a complaint all quote the same identifier.

Applications:

DI register Attribute governance Version control Submission readiness
Traceability & Recall Platform
Event data from production, warehouse and distribution is held so any lot can be traced forward to a customer or backward to a component.

Applications:

Lot genealogy Distribution trace Recall execution Implant registry linkage

Industry Success Stories

Representative outcomes from medical device UDI deployments. Figures are indicative ranges typical of this solution type and must be confirmed against your own baseline before publication.

Surgical Instrument Manufacturers
Makers of reusable stainless instruments that must carry a permanent mark surviving hundreds of reprocessing cycles.

✓ Direct part marks readable after repeated autoclave cycles

✓ 60-75% reduction in manual registry data preparation

✓ Instrument set reconciliation completed by scan, not count

Implant & Orthopaedic Manufacturers
Companies supplying implants where traceability must extend to the hospital and the individual patient.

Results Achieved:

✓ Lot-to-patient traceability established across distribution partners

✓ Recall scope narrowed to affected lots, not whole ranges

✓ Field safety notification cycle shortened from weeks to days

Single-Use Consumable & IVD Makers
High-volume disposables and diagnostic kit manufacturers labelling at pack, carton and shipper level for export markets.

Results Achieved:

✓ UDI labelling applied across the full exported catalogue

✓ 40-60% fewer registry submission rejections after validation build

✓ Label artwork errors caught before print, not after dispatch

Key Performance Indicators

The measures a regulatory affairs head and a QA manager will hold the project to. Targets are design goals confirmed in writing beforehand.

Registry Submission Acceptance

Share of GUDID and EUDAMED records accepted on first submission without rework.

Target: >98%

How we get there: Achieved by validating attribute sets against each registry's rules before any submission.

Mark Durability After Reprocessing

Readability of a direct part mark after the instrument's rated sterilisation cycles.

Target: Readable through rated cycle life

How we get there: Proven by marking parameter trials and cycle testing on your own material.

Trace-Back Time For A Lot

Time taken to identify every customer and consignment receiving a specific lot.

Target: Under 30 minutes

How we get there: Delivered by holding distribution events against the identifier printed on the label.

Label Data Accuracy

Match between printed UDI content and the approved master data record for the device.

Target: 100%

How we get there: Enforced by printing from the DI register, not from a locally held label file.

How We Deliver

Delivery runs in stages, so regulatory deadlines and production schedules are both protected.

Requirement Study & Catalogue Assessment

We review your device catalogue, classification, target markets and existing labelling, then identify which items need direct part marking and which need labels only.

Solution Design & Marking Qualification

Issuing agency, DI structure, label formats and marking method are fixed, and marking trials run on your own material before equipment is procured.

Pilot on One Product Family

One product family is taken end to end, from DI assignment through marking and label print to a live registry submission, before scaling up.

Rollout, Submission & Support

Remaining families are onboarded, registry backlogs are cleared, and the system moves into an agreed annual support arrangement covering regulatory format changes.

Why Choose Our Medical Device UDI Labelling & Traceability System?

Why device manufacturers engineer UDI as a data and marking system rather than a labelling task.

Master Data Comes First

We fix the DI register and attribute governance before touching a printer, because a wrong identifier propagates into every label and registry record filed afterwards.

Marking Proven On Your Material

Laser and dot-peen parameters are trialled on your alloy and finish, then cycle-tested through autoclave and washer runs, before marking equipment is ordered.

Registries Handled End To End

Record preparation, validation, submission, acknowledgement and rejection handling are in scope, so your regulatory affairs head is not maintaining spreadsheets between submission windows.

Recall Ready, Not Recall Panicked

The traceability model is designed against a mock recall, so a real corrective action is executed from system data instead of phone calls.

Make Your Device Range UDI Ready

Book a requirement discussion with our engineering team. We will review your device catalogue, target markets and current labelling, then come back with a DI structure, a marking approach and a pilot scope for one product family.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

It is the requirement to give every medical device a Unique Device Identification carried on its label or directly on the device, and to register it with the relevant regulator. UDI compliance for medical devices splits into the Device Identifier, a static code identifying model and packaging level, and the Production Identifier, dynamic data such as lot, serial, expiry and manufacturing date.

No. We are a solution development and systems integration company. Every project begins with a requirement study covering your device catalogue, classification, target markets and label systems, and the DI structure, marking method and registry interfaces are engineered to that specification.

The Device Identifier is static. It identifies a model at a packaging level and changes only when the device or packaging changes. The Production Identifier is dynamic and describes the individual unit: lot or batch number, serial number, expiry date and date of manufacture.

Yes. Laser and dot-peen marking systems, print-and-apply applicators, thermal transfer printers, verification cameras and scanners are scoped, supplied, installed and integrated in the project. Marking parameters are trialled and cycle-tested on your own material before equipment is ordered.

US FDA GUDID and the European EUDAMED are both supported, with record structures and validation rules handled per registry. India’s device rules under CDSCO continue to develop, so master data is held centrally and mapped outward to each registry.

Yes. Direct part marking by laser or dot-peen is used where a label cannot survive reprocessing. We trial parameters on your alloy and finish, then cycle-test the mark through autoclave and washer runs to confirm it stays readable through rated life.

Yes. We integrate with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Navision and with electronic quality management systems, so device master data, lot records, dispatch data and complaint records stay connected. Missing connectors are built within project scope.

Yes. On-premise, private cloud and hybrid deployments are all supported. Device master data and production records commonly stay inside your own infrastructure, while registry submission uses controlled outbound connections. Residency and retention terms are documented during design.

A pilot covering one product family, from DI assignment through marking and label printing to a live registry submission, is typically complete within ten to sixteen weeks of requirement sign-off, with marking equipment lead times the usual constraint.

The system moves into an agreed annual maintenance contract covering response times, preventive maintenance of marking and labelling hardware, registry format and validation rule changes, new device onboarding and mock recall support.
