Why Device Identifiers (GTINs) Matter in the Healthcare Supply Chain

GTINs play a critical role in the healthcare industry by improving inventory accuracy, streamlining recalls, and enhancing patient safety. They are also used as device identifiers in regulatory submissions.

• GTINs are essential for identifying and tracking medical devices, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing patient safety.

• In addition to GTINs, healthcare products may also use identifiers like HIBCC, which serve similar purposes but are governed by different standards.
