Hi everybody from barcelona,
Current situation: We print in our medical device boxes some data that has to be included in UDI. The expiry date (format AAA-MM) and the Batch. Also symbols associated to those concepts, “sand clock” for expiry date and a LOT for the batch.
We have Classes 3, 2 and 1.
Future: With UDI all that info must be incluced in a barcode attached to de device (normally a data matrix with also Human readable information at one side with GTIN, exp date, and batch).
It is “the same” logical info but in different format…so, with UDI what can I remove from current markings? The data, the symbols, both, none? It looks like the data could be removed as it is really duplicated…but the symbols?
Anyone has a clear picture? Does UDI make some of these other requierement obsolete? Which ones.
