How to make and print UDI medical device identification barcode labels?

You need to download a barcode labeling software, according to their own needs in the software to create the appropriate barcode, here to create UDI as an example, the steps are as follows:

UDI is based on the international or equivalent conversion of the national article coding standard system, the use of numerical or alphabetic representation of the code. This code is composed in accordance with the requirements of medical device traceability, within the global scope, is a specific medical device unique (unique) identification, used to identify post-market need to trace the medical device products. UDI can be used as a key to access the relevant database and access to the specific medical device associated with the pre-stored information.

The UDI, as an identifier, can differentiate between products of different models and specifications produced by manufacturers in different countries; it can access part of the information related to the registration of a medical device; it can be marked on a medical device product; it can be memorized and quickly searched in modern management techniques; and it can differentiate between ex-factory and purchased products, including products acquired in different time periods.

The UDI is an identification or code on a medical device, label or package that tracks the device. The following figure shows the structural components of a UDI code:

From the above figure, it can be seen that the UDI consists of several parts: package indicator, vendor identification code, commodity item code, check digit, application identifier, expiration date, application identifier, and serial number, so when coding, the UDI code data is written according to its components. Here we look at the detailed production steps:

One, open the barcode software to create a new label paper Open the barcode software according to the actual paper to create a new label paper and set up the relevant parameters and layout:

Two, draw barcodes and add data Click on the barcode icon in the toolbar on the left side of the barcode canvas to draw the barcode style and double-click the barcode to open the "Graphic Properties - Data Source" window, click on the left side of the "Modify", in the "Manual Input" state to enter the fixed data:

Serial number part, the use of the sequence generation + complementary processing methods to add, the specific mode of operation is, click on the data source below the "+" to select the sequence generation and click Add, and then click on the right side of the processing method below the "+", the use of complementary processing methods, the target length is set to 3, click on the "Add", you can see the following figure "data objects" in the "001" effect:?

After adding the barcode data, click on the "Graphic Properties - Barcode" window, select the type of "GS1 128" type, you can create a UDI code:

Three, click on the print preview to view the generated results! After adding the barcode data, you can click the print preview icon in the upper toolbar, turn the page to see the effect of generation, preview without error, click the printer icon, set the number of pages to print and then click print to connect to the printer to print:

From the above preview you can see that when you turn the page to see the last part of the serial number is in accordance with the sequence of the ascending sequence of the display, if the data in the front of the need for database If the previous data need to be imported into the database to generate variable content in bulk, you can also program the barcode data in TXT or Excel, and then use the database import method to add content, the specific method of operation can be referred to: How to import Excel table data to generate barcodes in bulk.
