UNSPSC - United Nations Standard Products and Services Code
Global Medical Devices Nomenclature (GMDN)
US FDA Product Code Classification Database: The Product Classification Database contains
medical device names and associated information developed by the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH) in support of its mission. This database contains device names and
their associated product codes. The name and product code identify the generic category of a
device for FDA. The Product Code assigned to a device is based upon the medical device product
classification designated under 21 CFR Parts 862-892.
The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) classifies products it authorizes for sale in
Australia. These items are considered either: Registered, Listed, Included or Classified as Other
on the Australia Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
An Australian classification and labelling of drugs and poisons named the Standard for the
Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP). This was created and is maintained by
the National Drugs and Poisons Scheduling Committee (NDPSC) which operates under control of
the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). This standard contains a list of 'Schedules', which
are a way of grouping products together that may have similar regulatory controls over their
availability. Criteria for scheduling may include such considerations as the purpose of use,
potential for abuse, safety of use and the level of need for it.
In Australia, medicine may be subsidized by its Government via the Pharmaceutical Benefits
Scheme (PBS). The PBS is a program available to all Australian residents covered under the
public healthcare system (known as Medicare). The Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule lists all
drugs available under the scheme and the conditions under which it may be used. The PBS is a
way of the Australian government subsidising the cost of particular medicines to make them more
affordable for the community. E.g. A consumer is entitled to purchase 100 tablets of aspirin under
the scheme, the retail cost is $13.00, the government subsidises $9.50, so the consumer will pay
the difference of $3.50 for the medication. The Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is
effectively the same scheme, however, offered to eligible war veterans, war widows and their
dependents.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) have their own classification system for medical
devices within Healthcare. The purpose of this classification is to ascertain the potential risk of a
device through analysing the intended purpose of the product and using a set of classification
rules. This classification allows the regulator to determine how much intervention is required
before the device becomes available on the market.
FDA Premarket Submission Number is a number associated with the regulatory decision
regarding the applicant’s legal right to market a medical device for the following submission types:
510(k), PMA, PDP, HDE, BLA, and NDA.
FDA Preferred Term Code, Unique four-character value assigned by the FDA to indicate a GMDN
Preferred Term without exposing the GMDN PT Code.

An internal identifier assigned by a buyer, used to identify each trading partner
with whom they engage in a commercial relationship.
Data Universal Numbering System. It is a nine-digit numbering system which
uniquely identifies an individual business. The DUNS number is a nine-digit
number issued by Dun & Bradstreet assigned to each business location in the
D&B database having a unique, separate, and distinct operation for the purpose
of identifying them. A DUNS number is also a way in which separate corporate
entities, having no official relationship, can be branded as one by sharing one
DUNS number among the affiliated companies.
The DUNS+4 refers to the DUNS number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, plus
a 4-character suffix that is assigned by the vendor to establish additional Central
Contractor Registration (CCR) database records for identifying alternative
electronic funds transfer (EFT) accounts for the same vendor located at the
same physical address. Dun and Bradstreet has no affiliation with the 4character suffix.

Description
The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is a government
organisation responsible for the regulation of therapeutic goods such as
medicines and medical devices. Once a product is accepted for sale in Australia
(via TGA approval) this item is listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic
Goods (ARTG). All goods within Australia, or to be exported from Australia,
must be present on this list before they can be available. Information held in the
database includes the name of the product, what it contains and manufacturer
details.
In Australia the federal government, through the Department of Health and
Ageing, provide a rebate to private health hospitals or clinics to cover the cost of
any prostheses that are fitted to a patient. This rebate is designed to cover the
costs incurred by the provider. Every product is given a ‘billing code’ from the
Department of Health and Ageing. This is used by the provider to communicate
the rebate request to the government. URL for the current Prostheses List:
http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/prostheses-listpdf.htm
A proprietary internal identification number assigned by a data recipient, used to
identify trade items purchased from each trading partner with whom they
engage in a commercial relationship.
Most Owners or operators of places of business (also called establishments or
facilities) that are involved in the production and distribution of medical devices
intended for use in the United States (U.S.) are required to list the devices that
are made at their facility and the activities that are performed on those devices.
Registration and listing provides FDA with the location of medical device
establishments and the devices manufactured at those establishments. Knowing
where devices are made increases the nation’s ability to prepare for and
respond to public health emergencies.
The National Drug Code of the United States of America is a unique 10-digit, 3segment number assigned to each medication listed under Section 510 of the

The FDA Product Code describes a product or a group of products. It is a
seven-character alphanumeric string composed of five components, the Product
Industry Code, the Class Code, the Subclass Code, the Process Indicator Code,
and the Group Code. For more in-depth information about the FDA Product
Code, see Lessons 1, 3 and 4 of the FDA Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA)
Product Code Builder Tutorial
(http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ora/pcb/tutorial/tutorial.cfm).
Health Industry Business Communication Barcode: An alphanumeric
identification number used as a common identifier within the healthcare industry
across different locations. In the Netherlands, this code is managed by the
European Health Industry Business Communications Council.
ICCBBA is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that
manages, develops and licenses ISBT 128; the international information
standard for the terminology, coding and labelling of medical products of human
origin. ICCBBA manage the allocation of globally unique identifiers to licensed
facilities and maintain the
ISBT 128 Standard, international databases for Facility Identification Numbers
and Product Coding, supporting documentation, and educational materials.
A unique proprietary identification number assigned by an industry sector
association or other organization, used to identify an item or service. Typically
the association or organization provides the industry sector with an identification
number as key identifier of a type of trade item.
International Standard Book Number: A unique numeric commercial book
identifier.
International Standard Serial Number: unique eight-digit number used to identify
a print or electronic periodical publication.
An identification number which defines the configuration of the product in
addition to the Item number. This is typically printed or otherwise attached to an
item. In electronics, this number is typically found around or near a serial
number.
National Stock Number is a 13-digit number that the federal government
assigns, for purposes of identification and inventory control, to every piece of
supply, equipment and material that it uses and buys. In a typical NSN, the first
four numbers are the Federal Supply Code (FSC), which places the item in a
specific category. The second two numbers, identify the item. The next two
numbers identify the country that buys the item; 00 or 01 is the code for the U.S.
The remaining numbers of the NSN are referred to as the National Item
Identification Number (NIIN) and are used to index NSN's
For medicines used within NZ healthcare, the code assigned by NZULM (New
Zealand List of Medicines). The NZ Medicines Terminology Code on the NZULM
website is referred to as the SCTID (Snomed Concept ID).
A nationally set standard trade item number for a variable measure trade item.
The SAN-4 is a fourdigit number that uniquely identifies a weight trade item
according to its country of origin. This short number is incorporated into the 13
digit GTIN symbol in combination with the weight, quantity or price.
The additional Trade Item Identification value populated has been developed
and assigned by the party which provides service(s) and/or manufactures or
otherwise has possession of the goods and consigns or makes them available in
trade. This number is a base model or style number assigned to the product and
may be the same for several GTINs where they are variations of each other. For
example a coffee mug with 3 GTINs one each for the brown mug, the white
mug, and the black mug might all be the supplier assigned number of AB123.
Use of this value is recommended in the absence of a Model Number or
Manufacturer’s Part Number.
The identification code assigned from the WAND (Web Assisted Notification of
Devices) database.

Carbon Monoxide.
Bicarbonate (or hydrogen carbonate) is an intermediate form in the
deprotonation of carbonic acid. It is an anion with the chemical formula HCO3.
Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical role in the physiological pH buffering
system. Bicarbonate is a major element in our body, and is present in all body
fluids and organs. Secreted by the stomach, it is necessary for digestion. When
ingested, for example, with mineral water, it helps buffer lactic acid generated
during exercise and also reduces the acidity of dietary components. Finally, it
has a prevention effect on dental cavities.

Salatrim: The abbreviation for "Short and long chain acyl triglyceride molecule".
Salatrim is mainly composed of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and stearic acid.
SCFAs contain fewer calories per gram than other fats, and the stearic acid in
salatrim may be absorbed at a low rate from the gastrointestinal tract. For these
reasons, salatrim is proposed as a reduced fat, reduced-calorie fat replacer.
Salatrim contains no trans fats.

High-Density PolyEthylene (HDPE) is a polyethylene thermoplastic made
from petroleum. A strong, relatively opaque form of polyethylene having
a dense structure with few side branches off the main carbon backbone.
Can be applied to bottles, flasks and caps.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a polyethylene thermoplastic made
from petroleum. A strong form of polyethylene having a less dense
structure with more side branches off the main carbon backbone (on
about 2% of the carbon atoms) than HDPE; therefore its tensile strength
is lower, and its resilience is higher. Made in translucent or opaque
variations, it is quite flexible, and tough to the degree of being almost
unbreakable. It is widely used for manufacturing various containers,
dispensing bottles, wash bottles, tubing, plastic bags for computer
components, and various moulded laboratory equipment. Its most
common use is in plastic bags.
Linear low density polyethylene is a linear polyethylene with a significant
number of short branches on the polymer backbone. It is commonly
made by copolymerization of ethylene with longer-chain olefins. It is
different from LDPE due to the absence of long chain branches which
gives it higher tensile strength, impact and puncture resistance than
LDPE. Common uses of LLDPE are plastic bags, wraps, stretch wraps,
pouches, covers and lids.
Medium-density polyethylene is a type of polyethylene defined by a
density range of 0.926-0.940 g/cm3. MDPE is typically used in shrink
films, sacks, packaging film and carrier bags.

Hardboard (not to be confused with hardwood), also called High-Density
Fiberboard (HDF), is a type of fiberboard, which is similar to particle
board and medium-density fiberboard, but is denser, much stronger and
harder because it is made out of exploded wood fibres which have been
highly compressed. Consequently, the density of hardboard is 31 lbs or
more per cubic foot (500 kg/m³)[2] and is usually about 50-65 lbs per
cubic foot (800–1040 kg/m³). It differs from particle board in that the
bonding of the wood fibres requires no additional materials, although
resin is often added. Unlike particle board, it will not split or crack.
A general term referring to any variety of broad-leaved, deciduous trees,
and the wood from those trees. The term has nothing to do with the
actual hardness of the wood; some hardwoods are softer than certain
softwood (evergreen) species.
Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made
by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres,
combining them with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by
applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is generally denser than
plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building
material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more
dense than particle board.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB), also known as sterling board, sterling
OSB, aspenite, and smartply, is an engineered wood particle board
formed by adding adhesives and then compressing layers of wood
strands (flakes) in specific orientations. OSB may have a rough and
variegated surface with the individual strips of around 2.5 × 15 cm (1" ×
6"), lying unevenly across each other and comes in a variety of types.
A non specific material made from the hard fibrous lignified substance
under the bark of trees.
Particle Board, also known as particleboard, chipboard, and Low-Density
Fiberboard (LDF), is an engineered wood product manufactured from
wood chips, sawmill shavings, or sawdust, and a synthetic resin or other
suitable binder, which is pressed and extruded. Particle board is a
composite material.
Plywood, a manufactured wood panel similar to LDF, MDF, and HDF, is
made from layering thin sheets of wood. Plywood layers (called veneers
or plies) are glued together, with adjacent plies having their wood grain
rotated relative to adjacent layers up to 90 degrees. All plywoods bind
resin and wood fiber sheets (cellulose cells are long, strong and thin) to

commonly from above. Heat transfer to the food is primarily via radiant heat
A cooking method which utilizes a convection oven which imparts heat assisted by
fans to force air movement, as opposed to a conventional oven, which relies on
convective heat transfer unassisted by fans. By moving fast hot air past the food, a
convection oven operates at a lower temperature than a conventional oven. The
air circulation, or convection, tends to eliminate "hot spots" and thereby cooking
food more quickly and evenly.
Type of preparation in devices in which the heating of food is possible with
different methods used together. For example:
• Microwave combined with hot air: Use this function to rapidly bake the foods.
• Grill combined with fan: Use this function to bake evenly the food and at the
same time brown their surface.
Type of preparation in a device that additional to the function of a convection oven
is able to generate steam. By transmitting the temperature to the food via steam
and convection cooking, times in Combi ovens are shorter than in general

Description
The baked-on date indicates the date on which the bread product was baked.
May be included on the label on a package of bread product instead of a bestbefore date if the bread product has a shelf life of less than 7 days (or otherwise
specified according to local target market regulations).
The baked-for date indicates the date not later than 12 hours after the time the
bread product was baked. The baked-for date indicates the date the bread is
being baked for. May be included on the label on a package of bread product
instead of a best-before date if the bread product has a shelf life of less than 7
days (or otherwise specified according to local target market regulations).
The best before date indicates the ideal consumption or best effective use date
of a product. It is a statement about quality. It is often referred to as a sell by
date or a minimum durability date.
The date in which the trade item is displayed on shelf until date is reached. This
is applicable to such items as periodicals, promotional trade items and materials
supporting. This is normally not for regulatory, expiration, or quality type dates.
The expiration date is the date that determines the limit of consumption or use of
a product. Its meaning is determined based on the trade item context (e.g., for
food, the date will indicate the possibility of a direct health risk resulting from use
of the product after the date, for pharmaceutical products, it will indicate the
possibility of an indirect health risk resulting from the ineffectiveness of the
product after the date). It is often referred to as “use by date” or “maximum
durability date.”
The trade item is marked with a date that specifies the last date a trade item
may be sold to a consumer.
The difference between Last Sale, Best Before, and Expiration date is that Best
Before is used for quality of product may deteriorate, Expiration date is the
maximum date of quality, last sale is the date the item can no longer be sold.
These support different business purposes.
The packaging date is the date when the goods were packed as determined by
the packager. The date may refer to the trade item itself or to items contained.
The production date is the production or assembly date determined by the
manufacturer. The date may refer to the trade item itself or to items contained.

Description
A trade item which is without packaging at the retail level and whose quantity (the individual
pieces, amount, or volume) is selected by the consumer and can be either bagged and bar
coded by the consumer or bagged and keyentered or scanned at the point of sale. NOTE: In
some industries these types of trade items are commonly referred to as BULK. Examples:
cold meats and cheese sold in butchers and delicatessens, fudge cut from bars, loose fruit
and vegetables, grains, candy, fresh produce, fabric bolts, spooled chain or rope, nails or
snacks. A fixed-measure reel of 100 metres of wire is sold from the supplier to the retailer. At
the retailer, the consumer may either buy the entire 100-metre reel at a fixed price for the
whole reel, or may request a length of wire to be cut to his requirement at a price per metre.
A 10 pound case of candy sold to the retailer. The retailer puts this in bins and prices.
A variable-measure trade item which is provided with packaging that is assembled or
produced by the supplier or by the retailer in advance of sale to the consumer. Examples:
cheese and deli meats pre-packed and priced by the retailer, chicken breast pre-packed and
priced by the supplier before delivery to the retailer, pre-packed fruit and vegetables sold by
weight or count (not a fixed price per pack).

Sterilisation Type Code
Initial Manufacturer Sterilisation
Initial Sterilisation Prior To Use
Code
Description
Autoclave (Steam) is a method of sterilisation that utilises
pressure and heat to achieve a sterile environment.
AUTOCLAVE
BETA_RADIATION
Beta particles are able to penetrate living matter to a certain
extent (radiation intensity from a small source of radioactive
material decreases as one over the distance squared) and
can change the structure of struck molecules.
CHLORINE_DIOXIDE
Gaseous chlorine dioxide systems for sterilization of
healthcare products are not mutagenic or carcinogenic in
humans. As the chlorine dioxide concentration increases, the
time required to achieve sterilization becomes progressively
shorter.
DRY_HEAT
This method should be used only for materials that might be
damaged by moist heat or that are impenetrable to moist heat
(e.g., powders, petroleum products, sharp instruments). There
are two types of dryheat sterilizers: the static-air type and the
forced-air type.
ELECTRON_BEAM_IRRADIATION
A commercially successful technology for sterilising a variety
of disposable medical devices with a wide range of densities.
The e-beam inactivates micro-organisms either by causing
microbial death as a direct effect of the destruction of a vital
molecule or by an indirect chemical reaction. This is the same
mechanism as in gamma irradiation, and the dose required is
the same.
A chemical sterilisation method that utilises ethanol as the
sterilisation method.
ETHANOL
A gas that is commonly used to sterilise objects sensitive to
temperatures greater than 60 °C such as plastics, optics and
electrics. Ethylene oxide treatment is generally carried out
between 30 °C and 60 °C with relative humidity above 30%
and a gas concentration between 200 and 800 mg/L for at
least three hours. Ethylene oxide penetrates well, moving
through paper, cloth, and some plastic films and is highly
effective.
ETO_ETHYLENE_OXIDE
A chemical sterilisation agent used to provide sterilisation.
Items being sterilised are usually immersed in the
formaldehyde for a pre-determined time period.
FORMALDEHYDE
GAMMA_RADIATION
Gamma rays are very penetrating and are commonly used for
sterilisation of disposable medical equipment, such as
syringes, needles, cannulas and IV sets. Gamma radiation
requires bulky shielding for the safety of the operators; they
also require storage of a radioisotope (usually Cobalt-60),
which continuously emits gamma rays (it cannot be turned off,
and therefore always presents a hazard in the area of the
facility).
GLUTERALDEHYDE
A colourless liquid with a pungent odour used to sterilise
medical and dental equipment. It is also used for industrial
water treatment and as a chemical preservative.
Glutaraldehyde is an oily liquid at room temperature (density
1.06 g/mL), and miscible with water, alcohol, and benzene.
HIGH_INTENSITY_LIGHT_OR_PULSE_LIGHT
Pulsed light is a non-thermal sterilization method that uses
brief intense pulses or flashes of white light to kill microorganisms.
Data Dictionary – Code Lists
Page 83 / 89
HIGH_LEVEL_DISINFECTANT
A germicide that inactivates all microbial pathogens, except
small numbers of bacterial endospores.
HYDROGEN_PEROXIDE
Another chemical sterilising agent. It is relatively non-toxic
once diluted to low concentrations (although a dangerous
oxidiser at high concentrations) and leaves no residue.
LIQUID_CHEMICAL
A sterilization process that uses liquid chemical as its sterilant
to kill microorganisms.
MICROWAVE_RADIATION
Microwaves are used in medicine for disinfection of soft
contact lenses, dental instruments, dentures, milk, and urinary
catheters for intermittent self-catheterization. However,
microwaves must only be used with products that are
compatible (e.g., do not melt). Microwaves are radiofrequency waves, which are usually used at a frequency of
2450 MHz.
NITROGEN_DIOXIDE
A sterilization process that uses nitrogen dioxide radicals that
are formed from dinitrogen tetroxide dimers to kill
microorganisms.
OZONE
Is a method often times used in industrial settings to sterilise
water and air, as well as a disinfectant for surfaces. It has the
benefit of being able to oxidise most organic matter. It is a
toxic and unstable gas that must be produced on-site, so it is
not practical to use in many settings.
A chemical in the organic peroxide family. It is a bright,
colourless liquid with a characteristic acrid acetic acid type
odour. It has a strong oxidizing potential, is highly corrosive,
and can explode at temperatures exceeding 110 °C.
PERACETIC_ACID
A method of sterilisation that utilises hydrogen peroxide
vapour to sterilise heat sensitive equipment.
PLASMA
SOUND_WAVES
Sound waves of frequency >20,000 cycle/second kills bacteria
and some viruses on exposing for one hour. High frequency
sound waves disrupt cells. They are used to clean and
disinfect instruments as well as to reduce microbial load.
SUPERCRITICAL_CARBON_DIOXIDE
A sterilization process that uses supercritical carbon dioxide in
combination with a small percentage of additive to kill
microorganisms.
UNSPECIFIED
Trade Item Manufacturer has not specified the sterilisation
method(s) of the trade item.
UV_LIGHT
Useful for sterilisation of surfaces and some transparent
objects. Many objects that are transparent to visible light
absorb UV. UV irradiation is routinely used to sterilise the
interiors of biological safety cabinets between uses.
