Medical Device Regulation: Time to Improve Performance.

The authors discuss the study, How Does Medical Device Regulation Perform in the U.S. and EU? A Systematic Review, by Daniel B. Kramer and colleagues. They state that the research examines the strengths and weaknesses associated with approaches to medical device regulation in the U.S. and European Union (EU). They suggest that regulatory agencies should have sufficient funding and political backing in order to conduct thorough reviews of medical devices and ensure their safety and efficacy.
