Our  Advanced Search is an advanced search tool to help you identify the relevant GMDN Term using a clinical hierarchy of more than 2,000 GMDN Categories. The Advanced Search allows you to search GMDN Categories for GMDN Terms but also filter options including filtering by In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) or General Medical Device (GMD), including obsolete GMDN Terms in searches and showing/hiding GMDN Term Details. You can also have up to 1,000 GMDN Terms shown per page. The Advanced Search also displays the eight GMDN Category groups. For example, those related to the device function (for example – Anaesthesia or Cardiology) those related to Anatomical Speciality (for example – Cardiovascular or Neurological) as well as a Names Index, Implantability, Power, Use Frequency, Materials and Featured Attributes. The structure of the hierarchy is revealed by clicking on the arrows.  

Your ‘My Terms’ list can be used to help manage your GMDN Terms. We continue to monitor all terms and provide notifications of any changes in a Term’s status. You are also able to export your list of Terms and archive any Terms that you no longer need us to monitor for updates.

We notify you automatically if the status of any Terms in your ‘My Terms’ list change for any reason. This can be useful to demonstrate compliance with the US FDA ‘UDI Final Rule’ (21 CFR Parts 830.350)

If you can’t find the right GMDN Term after searching the GMDN Database, we provide an enquiry service for all registered members to help by reviewing your product literature and advising on the next step. We can also help if a definition of an existing Term needs to be modified or a new GMDN Term created to include your product variant. We have an ISO 9001 Quality Management Procedure to control and document our service, so you can be assured your data is secure. At the end of the process draft Terms are made available to all registered members so they can provide feedback as well.

Multiple users can be added to a membership account with different access rights. Multi-user accounts are useful for larger organisations who need to allocate different permissions. The user who registers a new GMDN membership account has all permission by default with the following options available for additional users.

• Archive – Can add a Term to the Term archive folder
• Enquiry – Can send a new product enquiry
• Orders – Can order and pay for membership and Code packs
• Terms – Can search for and reveal GMDN Codes
• User – Can add, modify and delete users from the account

Large users of GMDN data, such as governments and hospitals, can download the compete GMDN Terms set.
