Outline of Final Research Achievements |
[Introduction] The balance between promotion of medical innovation and protection of patients is one of the most important issue of the Regulatory Science. Unique Device Identifier (UDI), a core element in the strategically coordinated registry network, is already mandated in the United States for phased implementation. [Objective and Method] In this research, in collaboration with internationally coordinated registry networks, we examined the significance of UDI for health care providers. [Result and Discussion] To build a sustainable ecosystem, the FDA highlighted the significance of UDI in care providers through its public-private partnership (MDEpiNet). Through Japan-US Harmonization by Doing (HBD), this study supported an internationally coordinated registry network (INTERMACS/J-MACS). Our experience was shared among Japanese stakeholders, and was referenced in the guidance document of the International Medical Devices Regulators Forum (IMDRF) as being applicable to other fields.
