FDA Holds Workshop To Get Input On Medical Device Patient Labeling

FDA will hold a public workshop in September to discuss medical device patient labeling. In a Tuesday (July 21) Federal Register notice, FDA outlined topics on which the agency seeks input from industry, patients, academic and professional organizations, standards organizations, and governmental agencies. FDA wants to know how patients use the information, whether they've led to patient injuries, how often device companies write and revise patient labeling, and how device makers use voluntary labeling standards. -- Erin Durkin
