UDI Database Deadline Extended Again For Certain Combo Products

Following an extension for Unique Device Identifier requirements for low-risk devices earlier this summer, US FDA has pushed back a deadline to input UDI date into its GUDID database for combination products that go through the drug center. Manufacturers, however, are still required to implement UDIs labeling by Sept. 24.
