Introduction

Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices and Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnosis medical devices introduce an EU identification system for medical devices based on a Unique Device Identifier (UDI).

The UDI-DI/Device module of EUDAMED is used for the manufacturers to provide their UDIs/Devices information and to make it available to everyone.

Warning

EUDAMED does not contain all constraints defined in the MDR/IVDR, guidance and good practices, and therefore, it is not because something is possible in EUDAMED that it is necessarily allowed.
