Parker's Medical Systems Division Accelerates Compliance with the FDA's Unique Device Identifier (UDI) with Embedded RFID Tags

Anaheim, CA -– The Medical Systems Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, fast tracks your FDA UDI compliance for molded polymer medical devices with embedded RFID tags. Parker’s patented polymer fabrication technology for embedding RFID tags directly into your devices’ plastic materials also ensures both polymer and RFID performance.

Parker Hannifin first embedded RFID tags into its products to stem the counterfeiting of its mission-critical elastomeric O-rings. It now expands this technology into a variety of other shapes and materials, covering many of the elastomers and thermoplastics commonly used in medical devices.

"With our RFID embedding technology, Parker Medical Systems is poised to assist medical and diagnostic equipment manufacturers to comply with FDA's requirement for a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) by incorporating machine-readable technology directly into their device." says Shu Peng, Parker Medical Systems Division Engineering Manager.

In addition to achieving UDI compliance, embedded RFID offers other data utilization opportunities such as product planning, production and distribution, as well as, for your healthcare customers’ real-time tracking, locating and inventorying of medical devices.

Working with our partners in the medical, diagnostic and pharmaceutical markets, Parker's Medical Systems Division develops and manufactures components, assemblies and finished devices that enable better patient outcomes.
