Abstract
The aim was to systematize and analyze the national and international scientific production on the traceability of implantable medical devices and the use of the Unique Device Identification System in 126 academic articles. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using inferential statistics to reach conclusions about a larger group. Thus, the coefficient of determination and the chi-square test of adherence were adopted, using the Microsoft Excel® software and the R statistical program to assess the scientific production activity related to the terms’ traceability and unique identification of the device. A map was generated in the VOS software, which provided the analysis of the behavior parameters and some presentations of the results in the form of tables and graphs, examined according to descriptive statistics. It was found that there was theoretical and empirical growth in the field of traceability of implantable medical devices and in the use of the Unique Device Identification System.
