Unique Device Identifier assigned through an FDA-accredited issuing agency. You can scan and verify one, but you won't find it in our generator.

What is a FDA UDI (medical device) QR code?

A Unique Device Identifier marks a specific medical device model and, often, a specific production lot, so it can be tracked through recalls, adverse event reports, and inventory systems.

Who issues it

The device manufacturer assigns the identifier through an FDA-accredited issuing agency, GS1, HIBCC, and ICCBBA are the three currently accredited.

The standard behind it

The FDA's UDI system requires most medical devices sold in the US to carry one of these identifiers, readable in both plain text and a code.

Why you can't generate this here

The identifier is minted and assigned by an issuing authority or registry (a tax authority, health ministry, or goods-serialization registry). It can be checked, not manufactured by a third-party tool.

You can still scan and verify one with our free QR checker.
