Generation of identification details for a Legacy Device when a UDI-DI already exists

In case the manufacturer has already a UDI-DI assigned to a Legacy Device, they will be able to use it as a device identifier for the Legacy Device. In this case, the EUDAMED DI is automatically generated from the UDI-DI value.

The Legacy Device will therefore have the following identification elements: a EUDAMED DI (equivalent of the Basic UDI-DI and generated based on the UDI-DI) and a UDI-DI (provided by the manufacturer).

In order to generate the EUDAMED DI identification element from the UDI-DI provided, EUDAMED will use a standard format, placing the characters "B-" in front of the UDI-DI.
