FDA's Medical Device Innovation Initiative

To ensure continued access to innovative medical devices, which often fulfill unmet public health needs, CDRH is launching the Medical Device Innovation Initiative, a comprehensive plan designed to address some of the barriers that can impede a product's timely progress to market. Dr. Shuren will discuss proposed actions that CDRH will take to help accelerate the development and regulatory evaluation of innovative devices.

Participants:
- Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., J.D., Director, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, FDA
- Jonathan Sackner-Bernstein, M.D. , Assoc. Center Director, Technology and Innovation, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, FDA
- Colonel Geoffrey Ling M.D., Ph.D. Program Manager, Revolutionizing Prosthetics, DARPA
- Dr. Peggy Hamburg, FDA Commissioner

FDA's role is to inspect drugs and vitamins so that the businesses don't kill the public. Why is it so hard to understand!?

3:35 They are "proactively" doing things. We need preventative actions! I think the FDA causes the illness and then treats it. Fucking morons over there. Pill for this, pill for that....FUUUCK!! ...But they are there to help us get better medicines and shit...why would someone want to stop something which is there to help you! They are helping the American people! They are reading a script! READING A SCRIPT! They don't give a fuck!!! Scripts are for immoral people!!!

2:41 I swear, FDA Commissioner truly believes the agency is charged with the task the task do. But FDA was made to protect the interests of the people? They approve things and deny things for the sake of our health.

How many people die/suffer because the process is so cumbersome and over regulated?

FDA, please deliver this message to Monster Monsanto. Thank you.

Monster Monsanto,

How does it feel to be a lying snake? How does it feel to be destroying the health of America, the economy of America, and the safety of America? How does it feel to betray your own nation with your venomous lies?

I feel so very, very sorry for you, Monster Monsanto. For the American Eagle is watching you, and that hunting bird is hungry for snakes.

and millions also die from these medical innovations..."The thing that bugs me is that people think the FDA is protecting them, it isn't what the FDA and what the public thinks it's doing are as different as night and day"-Herbert Ley; Former commissioner of FDA...They only support innovations, and the stakes are higher for human life...People are dieing younger and younger everyday. From the commercial food, bottled water, pharmacist drugs, &tobacco. They are all about money, not USA citizens
