GUDID

Global Unique Device Identification Database

Updated

GUDID is the US FDA's database of device identification data, in which manufacturers register each device's UDI-DI with its brand, model, company and attributes such as MRI safety and sterility.

The National Library of Medicine publishes it through AccessGUDID, a free search and API that hospitals and apps use to look up the device behind a scanned barcode.
