The company created a cross-functional team, including GS1 Solution Providers, 1WorldSync and LANSA.

A multi-phased project was launched that identified and integrated device data from diverse systems across the company and included processes to assign and validate each device’s Global Trade Item Number® (GTIN®) and attributes on their way to the FDA’s Global UDI Database (GUDID). Teleflex also achieved full Global Data Synchronisation Network® (GDSN®) operability for trusted data-sharing with trading partners. Now, Teleflex can provide accurate, complete and validated product data to regulatory bodies and trading partners alike, including healthcare providers.
