Getting a MDR UDI from GS1

Sören Hornof MDR Compliance Updated June 13, 2024 UDI
Getting a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) for your medical device is complicated. One of many problems is that you have to select a provider which "sells" you the UDI (it's about as shady as it sounds).

The first provider we'll talk about is GS1. We'll walk you through the steps you have to perform on the GS1 website for purchasing your UDI (spoiler: it's complicated, shady and terrible).

On a different note: Do you need any help with your EU MDR efforts?

We’ve worked with 100+ companies and helped them certify their devices in weeks, not months. Talk to us now – first calls are free! Check out our services and prices here.

Or, if you don’t like talking to humans, check out our Wizard. It’s a foolproof, step-by-step video course for getting your compliance done yourself.

And if you’re looking for the best QMS software for lean, founder-led companies, check out Formwork. It automates your compliance, and there’s even a free version for you to try out!
