Unique identification to increase patient safety
Unique Device Identification (UDI)
Unique Device Identification (UDI) is a worldwide system for the standardised identification of medical devices, which was developed in the USA. The UDI should be marked on the product in both a machine-readable format (e.g. a barcode) and in plain text. The UDI is the key to a Unique Device Identification Database (UDID), which holds a range of information on the devices.
Clear, one-to-one traceability requires specific requirements
KENUS technology meets all the requirements
Applicable in all environments
- KENUS technology can be used anywhere.
- RFID technology cannot be used in hybrid operating theatres because of the electromagnetic fields produced.
Visible over the entire life cycle
- The KENUS matrix is permanently readable over the entire life cycle
- Laser markings fade over time because of the washing processes during sterilisation
Instruments don’t get damaged over the life cycle
- The KENUS matrix code doesn’t damage the instruments
- Laser markings can cause instruments to corrode
