The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a virtual public meeting: "FDA's Communications About the Safety of Medical Devices." The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the development, content and format of the FDA's safety communications about medical devices. It is not intended to inform the criteria for when the FDA would issue a communication. The goal of this public meeting is to share the FDA's current practices for medical device safety communications, and to hear from our stakeholders (including patients and caregivers, healthcare providers, regulated industry, and media) about ways to improve our safety communications to ensure our stakeholders receive the information they need in a timely, clear, and consistent manner.
Pre-Meeting Presentation
During the public meeting, we will discuss the specific topics outlined in the Agenda below. An introductory video with background information on the FDA's current practices for medical device safety communications is now available. We recommend watching the video before participating in the virtual public meeting.
