# Adding an Implantable Device

Air lets you record, change, and access a patient's **implantable devices** from their **Problem List**. This supports ONC Health IT certification criterion **§170.315(a)(14) Implantable Device List**.

You only need the device's **Unique Device Identifier (UDI)**. Air looks the UDI up through the **NLM AccessGUDID API** and automatically populates the remaining device details for you.

## Navigate to Implantable Devices

### <Icon icon="microchip" iconType="duotone" color="#F9345F" size={23} />  Open the patient's Problem List

1. From the left navigation, open the **Patients** tab and search for the patient by name or MRN.
2. On the patient's profile, open the **Problem List** tab.
3. Scroll down past the **Problem List** table to the **Implantable Devices** section.

## Add an Implantable Device

### <Icon icon="barcode" iconType="duotone" color="#F9345F" size={23} />  Look up a device by its UDI

1. In the **Implantable Devices** section, click the **+ Add Implantable Device** button.
2. In the **Create Implantable Device** panel, paste or scan the device's UDI into the **UDI (Human Readable)** field, then run the lookup using the field's lookup icon.

As long as you enter a valid UDI, Air looks it up through the **NLM AccessGUDID API** and automatically populates the rest of the device fields:

| **Field**                  | **Description**                                                              |
| :------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **UDI (Human Readable)**   | The device's Unique Device Identifier. Paste or scan it to drive the lookup. |
| **Device Identifier (DI)** | The portion of the UDI that identifies the device's make and model.          |
| **Status**                 | The device's current status (for example, **Active**).                       |
| **Device Name**            | The device's brand or model name.                                            |
| **Distinct Identifier**    | An additional identifier for the specific device, when applicable.           |
| **Serial Number**          | The device's serial number.                                                  |
| **Lot Number**             | The device's lot or batch number.                                            |
| **Manufacture Date**       | The date the device was manufactured.                                        |
| **Expiration Date**        | The date the device expires.                                                 |

3. Review the populated fields and click **Save**. The device now appears in the **Implantable Devices** table, with its **UDI**, **Device Identifier**, **Status**, **Serial Number**, **Lot Number**, **Manufacture Date**, and **Expiration Date**.

<Tip>
  ✨**Smart Tip:** Scanning the UDI barcode directly into the **UDI (Human Readable)** field is the fastest way to add a device—the AccessGUDID lookup fills in the make, model, and dates so you don't have to type them.

### FAQ

<Accordion title="Where are a patient's implantable devices stored?">
  Implantable devices live on the patient's **Problem List** tab, in the **Implantable Devices** section below the problem list itself.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Do I have to type in all the device details manually?">
  No. Enter the device's **UDI** in the **UDI (Human Readable)** field and run the lookup. Air queries the **NLM AccessGUDID API** and automatically populates the Device Identifier, Device Name, Status, Serial Number, Lot Number, Manufacture Date, and Expiration Date.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How do I edit or remove an implantable device?">
  Scroll the **Implantable Devices** table to the right to reveal the action icons on the device's row. Click the **pencil** icon to edit, or the **trash** icon to delete.
