The FDA plays a key role in the safety and efficacy of medical products, and its regulatory and approval processes are critical to protecting the public health.The FDA has a broad range of responsibilities to ensure the quality and safety of products through regulatory and compliance reviews to meet the needs and expectations of the public.
