Automating registry submissions?
Alvento builds agents that read theatre records, decode UDIs, and pre-populate implant registry forms, reducing hand-keying error and audit rework.

Frequently asked questions
What is a UDI and why does it matter?
A Unique Device Identifier, a barcode that identifies a specific medical device in the supply chain. It is mandated by Article 27 of EU MDR and by the FDA UDI Rule. Two issuing agencies dominate medtech: GS1 and HIBCC. Implant registries (NJR, NLR, international equivalents) rely on UDI for accurate linkage.
Which UDI formats does the decoder handle?
GS1 Application Identifiers (DI + PI components: GTIN, lot, serial, expiry, manufacturing date) and HIBCC LIC/PIC formats. Paste a raw barcode string and it returns the structured fields ready for registry submission or EHR integration.
Can I use the output directly for NJR or NLR submissions?
The field layout maps to what NJR (National Joint Registry), NLR (National Ligament Registry) and similar implant registries expect. Validate against your registry's current data dictionary before automating ingestion.
Does it decode ICCBBA / ISBT 128 barcodes?
Not currently. ISBT 128 (blood, cells, tissues, organs) is on the roadmap, contact us if you need it prioritised.
