Senior Patient Safety Advisor
Food and Drug AdministrationAbout the Session:
What do the UDI ruling and the FDA’s sustained interest in barcode-assisted medical technologies mean for hospitals?
In a May 2010 interview, FDA Senior Patient Safety Advisor, Jay Crowley was interviewed by unSUMMIT co-founder, Mark Neuenschwander, about current FDA regulations and ongoing plans that could impact bar codes on medications and machine-readable identifiers on medical devices. Three years later, on September 24, 2013, the FDA released a final rule requiring that most medical devices distributed in the United States carry unique device identifiers, or UDI.
Log in to this U of UN Webinar to obtain firsthand understanding from a top FDA advisor. Once again, Mark Neuenschwander will engage Jay Crowley of these and other relevant topics:
- Current FDA regulations for medication bar codes
- The status and ramifications of the UDI regulation
- FDA position on defining barcode point-of-care technologies as medical devices
- Scope and limitations of FDA jurisdiction related to bar-code labeling and scanning at the point of care
