Bill overview
The Medical Device Recall Improvement Act aims to modernize how medical device recalls are handled by requiring manufacturers to use an electronic notification format. This format will include detailed information about the recall, risks to patients, and actions patients can take. The law also mandates that the Secretary maintain a publicly accessible database of recall notifications and requires manufacturers to notify patients about recalls when applicable, ensuring they are informed about potential risks associated with devices they’ve used.
