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
- ํ๋ชฉํ๊ฐ / ํ๋ชฉ์ ๊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
