Hello Class,

The FDA’s (Food and Drug Administration) approval process for drugs and medical devices is a noteworthy public policy that safeguards patients against unsafe, ineffective, or needless medical interventions. Before being marketed and sold to the general public, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices must pass FDA safety, effectiveness, and quality inspections. Manufacturers submit their clinical trial data for a thorough scientific assessment as part of the FDA clearance procedure. The aim is to ensure that products meant for patient use are safe and suitable for their intended uses (Batta et al., 2020). The FDA works to reduce risks and optimize patient benefits by closely examining clinical trial data and manufacturing procedures.
