UDI device tracking that works
Unique Device Identification is only useful if it is captured at the point of use. Here is how to make UDI real, not just a label.
StandardsFrom label to registry to recall
UDI links a physical device to the FDA's GUDID registry. We cover how to capture it at the bedside, store it with the patient record, and use it the day a recall lands.
What to get right
01
Capture
Scan UDI at the point of use, not in a back office.
02
Store
Keep the UDI with the procedure and the patient.
03
Recall
Find every affected patient in minutes, not weeks.
Frequently asked questions
Is UDI capture really worth the workflow change?
The first recall pays for it. Without point-of-use capture, finding affected patients is a manual chart hunt.
