GMDN (Global Medical Device Nomenclature) Codes

[chris1price]

Hi

I have been asked for the GMDN codes for our products as part of product registration. Is there any way to access the codes without having to be a member of the GMDM, which costs €1500 + €1000 per year?

For IVDs, I can find a cross reference between EDMA and GMDN which lists all IVD codes (http://www.edma-ivd.be/index.php?id=4), but cant find an equivalent for medical devices.

Ask your Notified Body or search this database.

We still use the UMDNS on our certificates, since there is the big fuzz on the very high license fees...

Until now, none of our customers needed the GMDN, UMDNS was always sufficient.

But how does the GMDN differ from the UCRI & UMDNS codes? I've been asked specifically for the GMDN code. Also, the link Al Rosen had posted to a searchable database is no longer active.

The Hong Kong Government have made the GMDN database available on their website - http://search.mdco.gov.hk/english/sd...dn/sd_gmdn.php.

Adele,

Thanks, but this link is "dead".

Try http://www.mdco.gov.hk/eindex.html which is the home page of the Department of Hong Kong and link through from their to the GMDN page.
