INFORMATION ABOUT THE BASIC UDI DI

As is known, in the Medical Device Regulation published by the Official Gazette No. 31499 dated 02.06.2021, the Basic UDI DI “is the primary identifier of a device model. It is the DI assigned at the unit level of use of the device. It is the main key to registration in the UDI database and is referenced in the relevant certificates and EU declarations of conformity”.

Again, the medical device Coordination Group “published by MDCG 2018-1 v3 UDI-Di and the underlying changes in the UDI-Di is a guide for the” also Basic UDI-DI “Basic UDI-DI, with the same purpose, risk class, and the basic design characteristics and manufacturing devices to connect to the database and the related documentation (eg. certificates, declaration of conformity, technical documentation and summary of safety and clinical performance are the main keys”.

The Termel UDI DI is contained in the following documents;

Technical File

Declaration of Conformity

Product Certification

Certificate of Free Sale

Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance

Clinical Research and Performance Study Applications after Market Supply

The basic UDI DI is separate, independent of the device's packaging, labeling, and does not appear on any commercial product.

4 Barcode assignment organizations have been authorized under the MDR for basic UDI DI assignment. The following are the relevant organizations.
