New Marking Device Ensures Easy Tracking and
Traceability of Your Medical Instruments
The MPX-90M impact printer marks two-dimensional DataMatrix barcodes as small as 1 mm on a wide variety of medical instruments such as
forceps, tweezers, scalpels and other surgical tools. This proven technology imprints unique device identification (UDI) numbers quickly and
affordably, allowing for easy tracking and traceability and resulting in better patient safety. In addition to 2D DataMatrix barcodes, the
MPX-90M is capable of imprinting numbers, text, logos and graphics on virtually any metal surface.* 1 Designed for ease of use, it comes with
its own software for producing precise, durable imprints that remain readable throughout the product lifecycle.* 2
