  • 1.  UDI carrier on separate label allowed?

    Posted 21-May-2019 10:53
    Dear forum,
    is it allowed to fix a separate label with (only) the UDI carrier on the device? So UDI would not be not on the same device label with all other required info (like manufacturer, production date, part number, serial number, CE mark,...)
    For the  EU MDR?
    And for the FDA?

    Thank you
    kind regards

    They're not very prescriptive about how to put the UDI, whether adhesive labels or laser etching or something else.​ So I don't know any reason you couldn't do it that way if you want to. It does make the process a little more complicated, to make sure the UDI carrier encodes the same production date and serial number that are shown on the other label.
