Medical News Today -- The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) released a study that reaffirms the strong safety record of FDA’s premarket review process for low- and moderate-risk devices, known as the “510(k)” process. The study, conducted by the research firm Battelle Memorial Institute, demonstrates that of the nearly 47,000 medical devices cleared by FDA through the 510(k) process since 1998, only 0.16 percent were involved in a serious recall event.
