What is UDI?

A unique, traceable identity for every device

Unique Device Identification is a regulatory system that assigns a permanent, machine-readable identifier to medical devices and surgical instruments — linking each unit to its manufacturing data, lot, and lifecycle history.

Regulators including the FDA and the EU’s MDR now require UDI marking on most medical devices — making permanent, verifiable marking a mandatory part of manufacturing, not an afterthought.

Why permanent laser marking

Why it matters for modern manufacturing

01

Regulatory compliance

FDA UDI and EU MDR require permanent, unique identification on most medical devices.

02

Full traceability

Every unit is linked to its lot, manufacturing date, and distribution history.

03

Patient safety

Faster recalls, adverse-event tracking, and reduced risk of counterfeit devices.

04

Survives sterilization

Laser marks stay legible through autoclaving, chemical cleaning, and years of use.
