Frequently Asked Questions

Changes requiring a new UDI are primarily related to identification and differentiation of a specific device and the stakeholder’s needs and ability to differentiate devices.

For example, devices manufactured on different lines typically have a different lot number. For a device that can be managed through other identifiers like lot number or manufacturing date, there is no need to differentiate a device identifier (DI).

Your first action should be to understand all of the requirements and how they apply to your devices. Next, you’ll want to identify gaps and determine a path to remediation. Then you need to decide whether you can or should produce market-specific versions. More importantly, implement robust internal processes to account for new requirements and changes in existing products or to their attributes.
