    @dr_benoy_n_shah @TCTMD_Caitlin @TCTMD relatedly, & I think related to a blog article that you wrote about device regulation too- (I think it was you, but I can't find it now...), this is a great study that was published today via @AnnalsofIM by @hmkyale et al: https://t.co/66uP2AxkTo $gated

    Just out in @AnnalsofIM A study of CVD devices subject to Class I recalls from 2013 through 2022 found that most recalled devices did not undergo clinical testing prior to authorization & were not required to undergo postmarket surveillance studies. https://t.co/BeD2kRBeLx

Abstract Synopsis

  • Cardiovascular devices account for about one-third of all Class I recalls by the FDA between 2013 and 2022, which are the most serious recalls indicating potential for severe health risks or death.
  • During this period, 137 Class I recalls affected 157 different cardiovascular devices, mostly moderate-risk, with design issues being the leading cause.
  • Most clinical studies supporting device approval relied on surrogate and composite endpoints, and many devices had multiple recalls; however, postmarket surveillance was limited, especially for 510(k) devices.
