UDI Implementation Challenges for Manufacturers

1) The document discusses challenges related to implementing unique device identification (UDI) requirements for medical device manufacturers. It focuses on data management aspects. 2) Key challenges include consolidating data from multiple sources, administering master data across departments and regions, and exchanging UDI data electronically with regulatory bodies and databases. 3) The company uses SAP systems to consolidate UDI-relevant device data from sources like ERP, documents and spreadsheets into a single "source of truth" for managing UDI attributes through the product lifecycle and ensuring regulatory compliance.
