I think I know the answer but want to double check. A portion of the FDA marking requirements is attached below. It indicates that month and year are clearly marked. We wish to include week as well as those two items for our own tracking purposes. I don’t think the rule prevents us from additional marking it is simply indicating the minimum marking and if we chose to add the week along with the required items we are in compliance, correct?
(ii) The month and year of manufacture shall be provided clearly and legibly, without abbreviation, and with the year shown as a four-digit number as follows: MANUFACTURED: (INSERT MONTH AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE.) (b) In the case of products for which it is not feasible to affix identification labeling in accordance with paragraph (a) of this section, upon application by the manufacturer, the Director, Center for Devices and Radiological Health may approve an alternate means by which such identification may be provided.
