Public Search and Transparency

Public accessโ€‹

The KIMS database is publicly accessible at udiportal.mfds.go.kr. Anyone can search for:

  • Device name and manufacturer
  • ํ’ˆ๋ชฉํ—ˆ๊ฐ€ / ํ’ˆ๋ชฉ์‹ ๊ณ  number
  • Device grade
  • UDI / DI information
  • Recall history
  • Adverse event summary (where publicly disclosed)

Why transparency mattersโ€‹

  • Healthcare facilities โ€” verify a device has a valid Korean authorisation before purchasing
  • Patients โ€” look up information about a device used in their care
  • Distributors โ€” confirm product compliance status
  • MFDS โ€” conduct targeted market surveillance using product traceability data
