Resources Global Professionals (“RGP”) today announced a new white paper that focuses on the recent Unique Device Identifier (UDI) regulation and its impact on medical device operations this year. The paper was jointly released with OHL, a global provider of third-party logistics services for the healthcare industry.

Entitled UDI Compliance: Impact on Medical Device Warehouse Operations, the white paper focuses on the following areas: re-labeling, barcoding, inventory levels, product versioning and distributor/third-party handling. It is co-written by Susan Moretti, RGP’s managing consultant specializing in UDI compliance, and Steve Downey, OHL’s vice president of healthcare vertical.

“UDI is requiring significant change for the medical device industry,” said Moretti. “Class III products are due to be compliant in September 2014 with other products not far behind. Whether organizations have UDI compliance programs underway or are planning them for future compliance, the impact on their supply chain and warehouse is an important one.”

Added Downey, “Warehouse operation is a critical component of the supply chain, requiring warehouse leadership to be ready for the changes that UDI will bring.”
