We recently shared how Unique Device Identification (UDI) systems are an integral part of streamlining regulatory processes. There are also numerous articles touting the benefits of cloud-based labeling solutions further supporting the importance of medical device labeling. What we don’t often hear about are the personal stories of how these regulatory processes and labeling solutions […]
We have spoken frequently about the importance of Unique Device Identification (UDI) systems and their ability to improve traceability of medical devices throughout the supply chain to ensure patient safety. Our partners at Loftware share more about navigating global UDI systems and how they are “an integral part of streamlining regulatory processes.” As mentioned above, […]
Our Loftware partners conducted a recorded webinar discussion with pharma experts about how regulatory labeling challenges impact the global pharmaceutical industry. During this webinar, the conversation covered: Standardizing global labeling operations Integrating labeling with existing business applications Increasing supply chain efficiency and agility The opportunity to hear from industry experts with firsthand experience working within […]
The Universal Device Identification (UDI) system was developed by the U.S, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as global UDI compliance to protect patients and clinicians by improving traceability of medical devices through a common and shared system. It has and continues to fulfill its role in safety and traceability tenfold and medical device software has […]
“Solution enables producers of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods to meet stringent traceability requirements.” There is an increased requirement for medical devices to include a unique device identification number (UDI) to identify devices implanted in the body. The effort launched between Loftware’s NiceLabel Cloud software and SATO, a pioneer in auto-ID and labeling solutions, […]
The benefits of an Apple® Watch without the watch? “Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have developed a flexible, stretchable computing chip that processes information by mimicking the human brain.” This technology is centered around the popular trend of wearable technology and ever-growing artificial intelligence. The hope is that this […]
A doctor in Raleigh, North Carolina was indicted for the extreme misuse of a medical device in addition to Medicare fraud and making and using materially false Healthcare Documents. Many of the patients were misled by thinking the medical device, was sterile and was used for the first time during their surgery. A balloon […]
When we think about medical devices, we may not take much time to consider when they were first invented. It may be hard to imagine that October 1, 1971, was 50 years ago but many of today’s most used medical devices were invented in the last 100 years including the first computed tomography image or […]
