Case Study: UDI Consulting Support for a Global Medical Device Company
Background – Client Needs:
A leading global medical device company needed assistance from Celegence to support their Unique Device Identification (UDI) compliance labeling requirements. The client required assistance establishing both the UDIs and GTINs, as well as updating the GUDID database in compliance for the US and EU regions for their entire product portfolio.
The manufacturer required a unique product label in barcode format on every device. This UDI label included pertinent information such as the manufactured date and lot number. Maintaining efficient data management was also a prominent obstacle for the client.

Celegence Solution & Approach:
Celegence conducted a gap analysis through a workshop to outline the necessary steps to prepare the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) for the US and EU regions. The key activities included:
