​​Simplify Your Global Regulatory Compliance with a Singular UDI Vendor​

Nov 15, 2024 | Medical Devices, Unique Device Identification

In today’s global business landscape, regulatory compliance is of utmost importance. Different countries have unique regulations and requirements, making it challenging to manage all regulatory activities effectively. Here is where partnering with a singular, experienced Unique Device Identification (UDI) vendor for global regulatory activities can be highly beneficial. 

Why Choose a Singular Global Regulatory Vendor? 

The recent decision by a U.S. UDI provider to withdraw from EUDAMED UDI support, passing it to new partners, has left some customers wondering about its impact on their UDI submission processes and overall global UDI compliance strategy. With mandatory parts of EUDAMED set to launch in early 2026, it’s crucial to have a stable partner who can guide you through these changes seamlessly. 

LexisNexis Reed Tech remains dedicated to providing a single, reliable UDI platform and vendor solution. Below, we delve into the benefits of choosing a unified platform and vendor over multiple systems. 

Factor Single Global Platform Multiple Vendor Platforms Data Metrics
Cost of Compliance A unified framework streamlines adaptation to global standards, reducing time and resources. Separate compliance checks for each system add complexity and cost. 20-40% Cost Reduction
Vendor Management A single vendor reduces administrative overhead and simplifies relationships. Each vendor requires individual management, increasing administrative tasks. 10-20% Cost Savings
Scalability Easily scalable with minimal downtime and integration concerns. Scaling across multiple platforms may lead to compatibility and integration issues. 15-30% Efficiency Gains
Operational Efficiency Integrated functionalities reduce workflow errors and enhance performance. Compatibility issues and data silos can lead to errors and decreased productivity. 25-50% Lower Error Rates
Training and Support Simplified training with one point of contact for streamlined support. Multiple systems require more complex training and varied support quality. 30-50% Better ROI
