Medical Device Safety Action Plan

Ensuring that the FDA is consistently first among the world’s regulatory agencies to identify and act upon safety signals related to medical devices is an important milestone in the FDA's continued work on the Medical Device Safety Action Plan. Robust oversight of safety also requires timely public communication about safety issues and effective interventions to address concerns.
In today’s announcement of the virtual public meeting on communications about the safety of medical devices, the FDA is taking another step towards the goals of the Medical Device Safety Action Plan, which will help us to improve the safety, health, and quality of life of patients and enable decision-making based on the best available evidence about medical devices.
