Application Status of Internet of Things Technology Based on UDI in Whole-Life Cycle Information Management of Medical Devices
Unique device identification(UDI)is a coding method that is gradually being adopted by global medical device regulatory authorities and is a powerful tool for managing medical devices.However,there are still problems in the application process,such as applying UDI codes to low value consumables.This paper introduced the concept of UDI for medical devices,including its definition and implementation both domestically and internationally,and pointed out that the implementation of UDI can bring beneficial effects in the production,circulation,use and supervision of medical devices.Building intelligent Internet of Things through UDI coding can realize information management such as full traceability of medical devices,expiration date of consumables,inventory and adverse event reporting.Finally,this paper briefly introduced the current medical device logistics management mode of our hospital and the use of hospital code combined with UDI code,so that the hospital medical device information can be managed more effectively,and it is expected to establish a standardized medical device traceability system and scientific management mode,which can provide a reference for other medical institutions to manage medical devices.
