FOBA’s laser marking machines feature at Medtec Europe

FOBA presents its laser marking machines for Unique Device Identification (UDI) compliant marking of medical devices at Medtec Europe 

The deadline for the third phase of the US-American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated UDI system ends this year and affects all producers of reusable class III products and several class III medical devices that are single use implants and are sterilised (or cleaned and sterilised) before use.

The FDA’s new UDI system will affect every manufacturer of medical devices who export into the US market, according to FOBA.

With a permanent code the authorities are able to trace back a problem device to its manufacturer and check other devices of the same cycle for safety issues.

Attendees at Medtec Europe can experience live laser marking of medical applications such as UDI marking with the laser marking machines M1000 and M2000.
