He wrote the UDI rule. Mark the calendar for Wednesday, Dec. 17, for On-Demand access to Jay Crowley’s webinar focusing on the top 9 challenges that devicemakers face in complying with the final rule.
Implementation is mandated in stages over the next few years, but truth be told, most companies are nowhere near compliance.
It's an on-demand webinar devicemakers can't afford to miss.
For most device manufacturers, it's their first opportunity to get up close and personal with what the FDA is requiring of them in the coming years.
Mr. Crowley has identified the following 9 questions as the key challenges for the industry, and will provide implementation tips, best practices and in-depth answers to them:
1. What if there is a manufacturing date on the label? Does it need to be included? Many manufacturers put a date on the label — but don’t use it for control purposes and don’t want to put it in UDI. But now it’s the law.
2. What day should be used in the standardized date format? Some manufacturers have never included day in the expiration date; using only year and month. But the final rule requires that a specific day be included.
3. What is the correct Global Medical Device Nomenclature (GMDN) term for a device or combo product?
4. How should manufacturers select the proper LABELER Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) for businesses globally?
5. Manufacturers are confused about implantable devices. Are extended wear contact lenses implants?
6. How should manufacturers handle some of the most complex compliance challenges, such as kits, convenience kits and combination products?
7. How far reaching is the UDI requirement? For example, what are the requirements for orthopedic trays?
8. What is the secret to understanding and navigating all of this packaging hierarchy?
9. At which point in the process does it make the most sense to assign a new device identifier?
It's no exaggeration to say that the FDA’s UDI rule impacts every device company and applies to multiple parts of each organization’s quality systems. This is not a rule that can be overlooked.
Sign up now to attend and attendees will also receive these invaluable documents to help with the transition to the new rule:
• The slide deck from Mr. Crowley’s presentation
• A complete collection of FDAnews articles focusing on the UDI rule
• Full text of FDA’s Unique Device Identification System Final Rule
• FDA’s Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) Draft Guidance

SPECIAL BONUS: Devicemakers may not be sure their company will be ready by the FDA’s published deadlines. The first deadline could be as soon as Sept. 24, 2014. There is a way to apply for exemptions, extensions or alternatives, but manufacturers must understand the right way to approach the FDA. In this bonus take-away, Mr. Crowley will explain how.
So, why not register NOW for Top 9 UDI Compliance Challenges: Former FDA UDI Chief Provides Answers? Attendees will get an insider's understanding of the complex nuances of UDI, detailed answers to the toughest questions and tips to help with implementation.
