A free spreadsheet template to generate EUDAMED Basic UDI DIs and UDI DIs for legacy (directive) devices that do not have existing issuing entity UDI codes.
The European Commission published complicated instructions on how to generate "EUDAMED DIs" to prepare your legacy or directive devices for upload to EUDAMED. These codes are for devices that do not have official UDI DIs.
We have created a free template to help you generate these Basic UDIs and UDI DIs for your legacy (directive) devices. Version 3 was released on 18 July 2022 and is based on the EC publication on Legacy Device Management ↗
⚠️ Important
These generated codes should not be confused with issuing entity-generated UDI DI codes. They are EUDAMED-generated codes only for devices with no existing UDI DI. Not for use on labels or for reporting — only for registering legacy devices in EUDAMED.
Version 3 allows creation of EUDAMED IDs and DIs using:

Q: What is a legacy device, EUDAMED DI code?
A: The legacy device is a directive device, a device certified under MDD, IVDD or AIMDD. The EUDAMED DI is a code that is used when the device does not have an existing UDI ID. It is a ‘fake’ UDI DI used only when registering your device in EUDAMED and only for legacy or directive devices that do not have an existing UDI DI.
Q: What is the difference between the EUDAMED DI and the EUDAMED ID?
A: The EUDAMED DI is the equivalent of the Basic UDI and the EUDAMED ID is the equivalent of the UDI DI. These generated codes are only for use in EUDAMED, these are not for reporting or for labels, only for registering directive devices in EUDAMED that do not have an existing UDI DI.
Q: We use a tool from GS1 to create our DI / GTINs.
A: This free 'legacy device' tool is only used for devices that do not already have UDI DI's assigned from an issuing entity like GS1. This tool is for the creation of essentially "fake" EUDAMED ONLY DI's used only when registering legacy devices in EUDAMED.
Q: What is a legacy device EUDAMED DI code?
A: A legacy device is a directive device — a device certified under MDD, IVDD or AIMDD. The EUDAMED DI is a code used when the device does not have an existing UDI DI. It is a generated code used only when registering your device in EUDAMED, and only for legacy or directive devices that do not have an existing UDI DI.
A: The EUDAMED DI is the equivalent of the Basic UDI-DI, and the EUDAMED ID is the equivalent of the UDI-DI. These generated codes are only for use in EUDAMED — not for reporting or for labels. They are only for registering directive devices in EUDAMED that do not have an existing UDI DI.
Q: We use a tool from GS1 to create our DI / GTINs. Does this apply to us?
A: This free "legacy device" tool is only for devices that do not already have UDI DIs assigned from an issuing entity like GS1. This tool creates "EUDAMED-only" DIs used solely when registering legacy devices in EUDAMED. If your devices already have GS1 GTINs or other issuing entity UDI DIs, you do not need this tool.
