FDA: Unique Device Identification System

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed a rule requiring unique identifiers on medical devices to improve tracking of adverse events and detect counterfeits. The initiative would create a new FDA database for device safety monitoring without collecting patient information.

Why it matters: Medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers must prepare for potential compliance with unique identifier requirements, which could affect supply chain, labeling, and regulatory documentation processes.
