UDI Development and Implementation We are interested in receiving comment on the possible role that a unique device identification system could have on improving patient safety, for example, by reducing medical errors, facilitating device recalls, and improving medical device adverse event reporting.
The UDI could be used to specifically identify a particular device--for example, to facilitate reporting an adverse event or locating a recalled device.
UDI could facilitate identification of devices in adverse event reports, in the use of active surveillance systems, and provide better documentation of specific medical device use in electronic health records and health databases.
According to the classical authors, the Udis inhabited the area of the eastern Caucasus along the coast of the Caspian Sea, and occupied a territory extending to the River Kuba in the north.
Under present administrative regulations, there are three Udi villages each belonging to a different administrative unit: Vartashen and Nidj are in Azerbaijan, in the districts of Vartashen and Kutkashen, and the village of Oktomber (formerly Zinobiani) in Georgia, in the district of Quareli.
Nowadays the Udis in Azerbaijan are being educated in Russian, and in Georgia, in Georgian.
