Executive Summary
The US FDA has apparently not yet set a date for a rulemaking on a unique device identification (UDI) system. The system has been on the FDA’s drawing board for five years now and, most recently, a coalition of US healthcare groups told the FDA not to delay issuing a rulemaking any longer. Today, when asked for a date for the rulemaking, the FDA told Clinica that “there is specific timeline for this rule”.
