What are the uses of medical device UDI codes? Why print?

Speaking of medical devices, do you know what a medical device is? The so-called medical devices refer to equipment, appliances, equipment, materials or other items used to prevent, diagnose, treat, and alleviate human diseases, injuries, or disabilities. From a broad perspective, medical devices include medical equipment and medical consumables; according to the degree of risk, medical devices can be divided into three categories: the first category is low risk, and routine management can ensure its safety, Effective medical devices; the second category is medical devices with moderate risks that require strict control and management to ensure their safety and effectiveness; the third category is medical devices with higher risks that require special measures to be strictly controlled and managed to ensure their safety and effectiveness medical devices. Most of the medical devices we commonly see in our daily lives belong to the first and second categories, such as band-aids, eye charts, rehabilitation crutches, hearing aids, etc. Most medical devices must be printed with UDI codes before they are put on the market. This is because the use of medical device UDI codes helps improve the traceability of medical devices, improves medical efficiency, and contributes to the production and circulation of medical devices. Strengthen the supervision of medical devices.

Through the medical device UDI code, we can track the production, circulation and use of medical devices. When there is a problem with the product/equipment, we can quickly trace the specific device and production batch, identify the root cause of the problem, and take timely measures to prevent the incident. Expand; Through UDI codes, detailed information of medical devices can be obtained, including manufacturer, batch number, etc., helping regulatory authorities to effectively supervise medical devices on the market and prevent the emergence of counterfeit and shoddy products. At the same time, UDI codes make it easier for consumers to understand relevant information and usage methods of medical devices, including manufacturer, production date, model, instructions for use and other information, so as to better protect their own health and safety. In modern industry, the printing of UDI codes usually requires the use of UV inkjet printers or digital printing equipment for high-speed coding, printing UDI, QR codes, patterns and other signs with high definition and high recognition rate.
