The GMDN Agency maintains the Global Medical Device Nomenclature, a standardised coding system used by regulators, manufacturers, and healthcare providers in over 140 countries. The organisation provides a universal language that enables accurate identification and categorisation of medical devices across international borders, supporting regulatory compliance, global trade, and supply chain accuracy.
By establishing consistent terminology for medical technology, the GMDN Agency helps remove barriers in market access, streamlines approval processes, and improves patient safety. The nomenclature database contains over 25,000 terms maintained by expert developers who analyse new products and technologies.
