I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Health News Digest article, Is That Medical Device Safe And Effective? Who Knows?
It's a great overview of:
- medical device classification
- premarket approval (PMA)
- premarket notification (510(k))
- substantially equivalent
- anecdotes that highlight controversies in the items above. This is the best part of the article.
For me, I get the sense that it's generally about business, and that some unethical companies might be putting our collective safety at risk.
