FDA SEEKING COMMENTS ON UNIQUE DEVICE IDENTIFIER SYSTEM
August 9, 2006
The FDA Aug. 9 announced it is seeking comments on how the use of a unique identifier system for devices could reduce medical errors, facilitate recalls and improve adverse event reporting.
"Much like the bar code rule for drugs and biological products, unique identifiers for medical devices could have many potential benefits for improving the quality of care for patients," said Daniel Schultz, CDRH director.
The agency is seeking public comment for the next 90 days, with a public meeting planned in the fall, the FDA said.
