Hi All

Recently we purchased an Abbott pacemaker worth INR 10 Lakhs.
However, in India, there is no system to validate the genuineness of this device using **Unique Device Identifier (UDI).** Such UDI verification is available in USA, EU, Brazil.

When enquired from Abbott representative in India, they have no convincing answer. In fact, they became agitated and tried to gaslight us.

1. Do we have a policy in India for such UDI verification?

2. What is the best way forward to hold Abbott accountable?

Thank you.
