APIC Urges FDA to Issue Proposed Rule on Unique Device Identification for Medical Devices

In its letter, the coalition calls for a system that supports both national and global needs through the GS1 system, which would help providers reduce costs, initiate patient safety improvements and implement electronic health records.

The coalition notes that it has been three years since Congress passed the “The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007,” which included language requiring the FDA to develop regulations establishing a national UDI system.

Read the letter sent to the FDA by the Advancing Patient Safety Coalition (doc).
