Unique Value Position

4

! In July 2012, the President signed into law the Healthcare Safety and Innovation Act and in Sept. 2013, the FDA issued a Final Rule, that requires all medical devices distributed in the U.S. that are intended to be used more than once and intended to undergo any form of reprocessing before each use to carry a UDI with a direct part marking

! VeriTeQ’s FDA cleared UDI, which can serve as a direct part marking to meet the AIDC portion of the FDA Final Rule, can also identify an implantable medical device, in vivo, on demand

! VeriTeQ’s UDI, called “Q Inside Safety Technology,” goes beyond pure identification to help device manufacturers comply with the FDA Final Rule; Q Inside Safety Technology provides clinical and healthcare benefits

FDA Final Rule

8

! The Final Rule requires devices intended to be used more than once and intended to undergo any form of reprocessing before each use, i.e. re-useable/reprocessed medical devices to have a direct part marking (vs. basic labeling on device packaging)

! Requires the direct part marking to be provided through either or both of the following: ! Easily readable plain text;

! Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC), or an alternative technology, that will provide the UDI of the device on demand

Benefits of a UDI System

! Allows more accurate reporting and analysis of adverse events to quickly identify problem devices

! Reduces medical errors by quickly and accurately identifying a device and its characteristics

! Provides a standardized identifier that allows manufacturers, distributors and healthcare facilities to more effectively manage medical device recalls

! Provides a consistent way to enter information about devices in electronic health records and clinical information systems

! Provides a foundation for a global, secure distribution chain, helping to address counterfeiting and diversion and prepare for medical emergencies
