MULTIPLE DEVICE IDENTIFIER CHECKER
For HCT/Ps that are regulated as a medical device, the Multiple Device Identifier Checker allows a user to check the validity of a list of ISBT 128 Device Identifiers (DIs) provided in a data file (.txt file). This tool also interprets the Facility Identification Number and Product Description Code elements of each DI.
Intended Audience:
This tool is intended for US tissue banks or cellular therapy facilities that produce human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/P) that are regulated as medical devices by the FDA. The tool may also be of use to software developers and label vendors that provide products for these facilities.
