MANUFACTURERS & SUPPLIERS
IMPLEMENTING UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION AND MEETING REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
STRENGTHENING TRUST AND ACCURACY IN HEALTHCARE
GS1 Standards enable precise tracking of medicines and medical devices from production to patient care. They help to identify counterfeit products, support faster recalls and improve patient safety.
Unique Device Identification (UDI) systems, built on these global standards, enable organisations to assign unique identifiers to medical devices and capture them in a scannable barcode. This ensures accurate tracking across the entire supply chain and links essential data to a regulators database, ensuring transparency and traceability.
Together, GS1 standards link manufacturing to distribution, distribution to regulators and regulators to patient care, creating a connected, accountable and trustworthy healthcare system that protects patients and strengthens global confidence in medical supply management.
