Welch Allyn embraces the importance and value of global data standards in the healthcare industry that will help improve patient safety, provide enhanced product traceability and reduce costs to all partners in the healthcare supply chain. That is why we are moving forward on a voluntary path to comply with data standardization requests from our supply chain partners and comply with the Unique Device Identification (UDI) Regulation for all of our products before the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires compliance by law. As part of this transformation, Welch Allyn has chosen GS1 Standards for our device identification (GTIN) and barcoding applications.
