Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by regulating medical devices, radiation-emitting electronic devices, drugs, biologics, food, tobacco, and cosmetics. After a product reaches the market, the Agency continues to evaluate a product's safety by monitoring adverse events. FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health facilitates reporting of medical device events and complaints by manufacturers, importers, healthcare facilities, and the general public to help FDA identify potential safety signals and/or improve medical device performance. FDA has established 2 reporting mechanisms (1) reporting through the public MedWatch system and (2) direct user facility collaboration via the MedSun program.
