Description
The description below has been rewritten post discussion with MnM on October 27.
This tracker is also linked to UP-232, which will be updated once the current tracker is approved by MnM.
The jurisdictional databases of medical devices (GUDID for US, EUDAMED for EU) define 3 complimentary UDI identifiers for medical devices, that need to be recorded in resources DeviceDefinition and Device for representing devices in catalogs, using the identifier 0..* Identifier element. These 3 complimentary UDI identifiers are the "Secondary UDI-DI", the "Direct marking UDI-DI" and the "Unit of use DI". Their intended representation with the Identifier data type is depicted as follows:
use | type | system | value | assigner | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Secondary UDI-DI | secondary | UDI | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0203 | the identifier | reference to the issuer (e.g. GS1, HIBCC ...) |
Direct marking UDI-DI | official | DIRECT-MARKING | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0203 | the identifier | reference to the issuer |
Unit of use DI | official | SINGLE-ITEM | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0203 | the identifier | reference to the issuer |
Types DIRECT-MARKING and SINGLE-ITEM are new values proposed by this tracker for addition to ValueSet identifier-type and to CodeSystem v2-0203. They are defined in the table below, which also proposes an addition (text in bold) to the definition of type UDI:
Code | Display | Definition |
---|---|---|
UDI | Universal Device Identifier | An identifier assigned to a device using the Unique Device Identification framework as defined by IMDRF (http://imdrf.org). This value is intended to be used exclusively for the Secondary UDI-DI. |
DIRECT-MARKING | Identifier directly marked on the identified item | An identifier physically marked on the item that it identifies. |
SINGLE-ITEM | Identifier for any single item of a homogeneous collection | An identifier pre-defined by the assigner used for identifying an individual item in a homogeneous collection. An example of use of this value is the "Unit of use DI" as defined in the regulatory medical device databases (e.g. GUDID for US and EUDAMED for EU) |
