The FDA, in partnership with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), recently announced that data submitted to FDA’s Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) is now publicly available through AccessGUDID.  Users can utilize AccessGUDID to search for and download information that device labelers have submitted to the FDA’s GUDID about their medical devices.

Because the UDI system is being phased in over the next several years, labelers are currently submitting data on only the highest risk medical devices, a small subset of marketed devices. But as the system is implemented according to the UDI compliance timeline, the records of all medical devices required to have a UDI will be included.

AccessGUDID may be found on the Library’s Database A-Z listing.
