Editor's Note
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 26 issued a draft Unique Device Identification (UDI) guideline that requires most medical device labels and packages to bear a UDI in easily readable plain-text and automatic identification and data capture technology forms.
UDIs must be issued under a system operating by FDA-accredited issuing agencies. Comments on the draft guideline will be accepted for 60 days.
