B. Braun goes Live with Innovit direct GUDID connector — Innovit
SAN FRANCISCO – Sept. 23, 2020 – PRLog — Innovit, a global software company specializing in UDI compliance, Global Data Synchronization (GDSN), Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM) solutions, has announced today that B. Braun Medical Inc. (B. Braun) initiated its EUDAMED data submission project using Innovit’s UDI solution. This comes after the team’s successful replacement of its former GUDID solution in 2019 with Innovit’s UDI Connector for GUDID, which enables the direct submission of product data to the FDA.
Prior to using Innovit’s UDI Connector, B. Braun submitted their regulatory product data to the FDA via a GDSN data pool using Innovit’s GDSN Connector. Now using Innovit’s UDI Connector for GUDID, B. Braun can improve data alignment processes with the FDA and enable near real‑time data submissions to the GUDID. B. Braun also anticipates reducing overall costs by:
· eliminating the many system validations for GAMP5 compliance as a result of frequent GDSN upgrades
· removing the fees for data pool subscriptions
“Historically, there have been several upgrades to GDSN standards per year that require data pools to upgrade their system. This results in additional system validation work, which adds significant costs per validation event. Working with Innovit means we can avoid those costs by connecting and submitting data directly to the FDA,” said Gaurav Rai, Associate Director, Central Product Data Management at B. Braun.
“We were so pleased to team with B. Braun to deliver a solution that not only provides a significant cost savings, but also enables their Central Master Data Management team to improve compliance performance,”
