UDI Pony Express delivers medical recall notices to the FDA using telegram, morse code, and horse

FOR RELEASE APRIL 1, 2021

Xcelrate UDI is pleased to announce its new solution, UDI Pony Express, to improve healthcare compliance as facilities struggle with outdated medical recall alert systems.

“When we saw that the FDA has rules for important medical recall information delivery by telegram -- in 2021, no less, we realized there was a market opportunity for healthtech solutions that go a little bit retro,” says Xcelrate UDI Founder Joan Melendez. 

“Our new UDI Pony Express medical recall module meets that need, and more!” Melendez explains. “Let’s say you’re a manufacturer that has discovered a flaw in a medical device that could cause harm to patients. Of course, you need to alert the FDA. Now, whether you’re sending that urgent message by horse-drawn carriage, telegram machine, or morse code, UDI Pony Express has you covered.”

It may take weeks, or even months, for that urgent recall message to make it from a manufacturer to the FDA to cross the country a horse and rider - but with UDI Pony Express, that message will arrive eventually.

In an era of rapid medical innovation, it seems the most counter-intuitive health innovation area may lie in servicing outdated medical procedures. Xcelrate UDI helps medical facilities deal with a broad range of issues around medical device recalls.
