Custom Laser Etching UDI for Medical Equipment & Surgical Instruments

Compliance: The Food and Drug Administration passed a law in 2007 that requires a Unique Device Identification (UDI) to be implemented on medical devices and packaging with a specifically formatted machine-readable code.

Directly applied UDI marks should meet many criteria:

Not affect the surface finish of the device negatively
Must not corrode or fade
Ensure counterfeit protection
Marked in high contrast
Legible and readable
Remain stable through multiple high alkaline sterilization and cleaning procedures

FDA Approved

Tracking individual surgical instruments that meets the above criteria can be achieved by applying a 2D or 3D laser mark for easy identification and using various scanners to identify the item for proper placement within a surgical set. Laser marking does not use glues, adhesives or chemicals.

Once the surgical instrument is marked properly, it is very important to enter each data point into the respective tracking system, naming the instrument with consistent and accurate nomenclature.
