Drugs - Devices - Preemption - Explained Clearly
My hat is off to Matt Hotz, on the Pharma Compliance Blog, for writing this succinct and consumable post that even I can understand, Preemption and the Distinction between Drugs and Devices.
I'm not a lawyer, so I've found this particular topic difficult to digest. Hotz' post got me up to speed quickly and expanded my understanding of the touchpoints to local, state, vs. federal law; and to the distinctions and nuances between drugs vs. medical devices.
Now I feel that I can follow breaking preemption news with some basic foundational understanding. Thanks Matt!
