UDI Legislation: Standardizing Device Identification
FDAAA 2007; FDASIA 2012
Not later than December 31, 2012, the Secretary shall issue proposed regulations establishing a unique device identification system for medical devices requiring the label of devices to bear a unique identifier, unless the Secretary requires an alternative placement or provides an exception for a particular device or type of device. The unique identifier shall adequately identify the device through distribution and use, and may include information on the lot or serial number. The Secretary shall finalize the proposed regulations not later than 6 months after the close of the comment period and shall implement the final regulations with respect to devices that are implantable, life-saving, and life sustaining not later than 2 years after the regulations are finalized, taking into account patient access to medical devices and therapies.

Final Rule PUBLISHED!!!September 24, 2013
www.fda.gov/udi
Unique Device Identifier (UDI)A globally unique device Identifier:• To be obtained from an FDA-accredited issuing agency• To be applied by manufacturer to the label of devices• To be submitted by manufacturer to Globally Unique Device
Identification Database (GUDID) along with associated device attributes – Common Product Model
• To be made publically available at no charge• To be used by FDA applications (MAUDE, Recalls) and external
systems (EHRs, Claims, Inventory Systems) as the device ID standard

UDI Representation
• (01) 00643169001763(17) 160712 (21) 21A11F4855• UDI = DI (Device Identifier) + PI (Production Identifier)
– Placed on the Device Label– DI is lookup key for pulling out other attributes from GUDID– Scanners/middleware can parse out PI (lot, serial, expiration and
manufacturer date) from the UDI barcode (where available)– GUDID will capture ONLY the DI portion (static portion of UDI)– Manufacturers or hospitals/end users are responsible for recording PI
information on individual device packages

Global Unique Device Identification Database - GUDID
– Submission of DI records made through web interface and HL7 SPL
– Stores DI and other regulatory device identification information
– Download, Webservice and Search for Device Information – no charge from FDA
– Potential to link device information in procurement, inventory control, recalls, clinical care (including registries and clinical trials), clinical material management, incident systems etc.
8
GUDID – Characteristics• Device Catalog - Contains static device information• NOT a Patient Registry – does NOT contain patient or
device specific production information, such as lot or serial numbers
• NOT for track/trace or other similar purposes requiring the full UDI
• Provides link to product information – not a replacement for FDA Recalls/Adverse Event Databases
• GUDID is not a requirement for hospitals – it is a tool that will provide the following benefits if all stakeholders buy in EHRs, Claims, Inventory Systems, Incident Systems, Clinical Maintenance…

SPL R5 – DI Representation• SPL collects the Device Identifier without its
production identifiers• Device Identifier indicated by code
(00643169001763) • Issuing agency indicated by codeSystem
(GS1=1.3.160)
ICSR R1 –UDI Representation in Adverse Event Reporting • Unique Device Identifier includes the Issuing agency
prefix, device identifier and production identifiers

Ideas?
Criteria for selecting the Data Elements *
• Does it reflect natural patient care documentation?
• Is it useful in patient care communication and transfer of care?
• How does the data element assist in charging?

EHR Adoption – Meaningful Use Stage 3

Stage 2 Final Rule Stage 3 Recommendations
NEW – NOT IN STAGE 2
MENU objective: Eligible Physicians and Eligible Hospitals should record the FDA Unique Device Identifier (UDI) when patients have devices implanted for each newly implanted device.
MENU Measure: Eligible Physicians and Eligible Hospitals should record the UDI when patients have the device implanted for 80% of patients seen within the EHR reporting period.Proposed
19
UDI RequirementsPatient’s implant is documented in EHR and other relevant systems as part of patient care by:• Representing UDI as the standard code to document device
use • Providing parsing instructions for decoding and storing DI +
PI• Using DI portion of UDI to obtain other relevant attributes
that link to patient episode of care (from GUDID or inventory system or ??)
• Making links between EHR, inventory and claims systems -store DI, PI and sufficient clinical and administrative attributes to maximize benefit to patient, care providers, hospital systems (materials management, biomedical engineering, risk management, recalls)
Potential Future Benefits• The UDI of an implanted medical device could be captured
upon implant and become a permanent part of a patient’s medical record. Then:– A clinician could view all of the patient’s implanted devices
and associated UDI’s in the same manner as a medication list is viewed.
– This hospital would be able to report adverse events using the UDI (and appropriate associated attributes) linked to the EHR patient record.
– If an implantable device recall occurred, the hospital or physician would be able to use the UDIs of the recalled devices to pull up all patients in their EHR that have in their record the device identifier, and lot/batch/serial number combination specified in the recall notice. 20
Devices would be better identified as part of care
• UDI and other implantable device information could be provided at time of patient transition in : – View, Download and Transmit functions (VDT)– Summary of Care documents– Transition of Care documents– After visit summary documents
21
UDI and HL7 - questions• Which HL7 Standards need to support UDI for capturing
implant and linking to patient surgical procedure?• Does an HL7 standard need to define the UDI attributes
to link to patient? If not, what standard would?• Should UDI representation be resolved by M&M?• Should there be an Implementation Guide to define how
to represent UDI in SPL, v2.x, FHIR, medical device interoperability? Who coordinate?
