WASHINGTON, DC -As part of an ongoing effort to improve the medical device review process, members of Congress recently invited innovators in the field to engage in a roundtable discussion about how the FDA’s review process impacts their ability to make these devices accessible to American patients.

Legislative solutions to protect patients, jobs, and innovation will be introduced soon.
