GMDN or Global Medical Device Nomenclature is a system of internationally harmonized generic descriptors used to identify all medical products. Such products include those used in the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease or injury in humans.

The main purpose of the GMDN is to provide health authorities / regulators, health care providers, medical device manufacturers and suppliers, conformity assessment bodies and others with a single generic naming system that will support patient safety.

Some regulatory authorities will require the manufacturer to indicate the corresponding GMDN code of its product as part of the product registration process.

If you need help finding your product’s GMDN code or need to assign a new code for your device in case such a code does not exist, then please fill out the following form.
