Re: Where to get GMDN code...

Look at the below link from Cove.

You can get the GMDN Codes from
https://www.gmdnagency.com

You must have subscription to this to access the required GMDN codes.

Also from google, you can find the attached GMDN vs EDMA code matrix.

Australia TGA has its own GMDN Codes for IVDs, as in attached.

My company sells orthodontic products worldwide. Recently a Malaysian customer needs these. I think it's just the latest scam but I'm curious. How are these used? Does a doctor or health agency have to pay the membership fee to actually Make Use of these generic descriptions of medical devices?
Is this all because of the worldwide problem of bad language translation?

Thanks for any insight.

Hello and welcome to the Cove

GMDN is not a scam.

If you read through the links / threads provided above you will most likely find answers to all your questions...

Cheers,
Ronen.

Thanks,

But apart from its not being a scam, can you answer my other questions? Their website is woefully short on information.

Please remember that there is a lot of GDMN stuff that is copyright/proprietary so you will find limited information here because we monitor to ensure copyrighted material is not shared here.

Thanks Boss!
Yes, I gather that. I was referring to GMDN's website, not yours.
Could you tell this "lay" person what one does with the 5 digit number on the bag with the stent in it? How does the doctor know what that number means?

The doctor may not use the GMDN codes every day, but the importers, border and customs agencies, and health product regulators use them.

As an example, here's the TGA's website that explains how they use the GMDN codes: https://www.tga.gov.au/global-medical-device-nomenclature-gmdn.
