SCHEDULE B

GMDN Membership for Manufacturers (including Authorized Representative/Distributor Bodies)

Membership - Licence Details:

Definitions

For the purpose of this schedule, the following definition applies:
“Manufacturer” is an organisation that manufactures and/or supplies medical devices.


Member Access

Schedule ‘B’ Members will be able to access the GMDN database within which there are at present approximately 19,000 generic terms. This includes some 9,000 “Preferred Terms” with full definitions and these ‘P’ terms are those under which devices should be identified for regulatory purposes. There are also approximately 1000 ‘CT’ terms (Collective Terms) which provide multiple links for search processes, based on common features and applications. These ‘CT’ terms will form part of the new GMDN “Navigator” system. The remaining 10,000 terms include ‘T’ terms which are “Template Terms” and ‘S’ terms which are “Synonym Terms”, both of which provide valuable search information to locate the appropriate ‘P’ term to be used. When the correct ‘P’ term has been identified the appropriate code (5 digits) can be obtained using the “User Access” process.


Specific Licence Restrictions

This GMDN Membership gives the Member the right to access and use the GMDN Database, based on the membership limitations within the Licensee’s company/environment for one year. This Licence must be renewed each year in order to continue access to the GMDN Database.

GMDN Membership payment schedule includes continual updates of the GMDN Database and shall cover a period of 12 months from date of issue.

This Membership restricts access to the GMDN Database to personnel employed and/or contracted by the Member to work within the Manufacturer’s organisation.
