The Saudi Medical Device Coding System (Saudi-DI): What Manufacturers and Importers Need

The Medical Devices and Products Coding System (Saudi-DI) is an SFDA platform for registering and documenting medical device identification codes based on recognized international standards, so that users and stakeholders can identify and trace each device.

Why coding matters

The code links a device on the market to its SFDA registration data. This supports traceability, faster recalls when needed, shipment matching at clearance, and fewer errors across the supply chain.

What to prepare

The manufacturer needs identifiers issued by one of the recognized international issuing agencies, correctly printed on the product label and packaging. Each code must match the model, size and package configuration registered under the marketing authorization.

Common mistakes

Using one code for several models or sizes, code data that differs from registration data, or changing packaging without updating the linked code.

Our role

As your Authorized Representative, we coordinate with the manufacturer to prepare, upload and link coding data to the registration, so shipments are not held up later.
