AiArthritis Voices 360 Talk Show
Education
This week join your patient co-host Danielle Dass as she reports back on her experience attending an American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Public Meeting on behalf of the International Foundation for Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Arthritis. The meeting was intended to gather information from patients, medical professionals, and industry personnel about the accessibility and utility of safety communications regarding medical devices to better inform FDA practices.
The mission of AiArthritis is to elevate and center the patient voice in global conversations with all stakeholders about solving problems facing the autoimmune and autoinflammatory arthritis patient community. This means sometimes we send representatives to participate in events hosted by regulatory agencies like the FDA or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). In this episode, Danielle will explain how you can get involved in this meeting and how you can participate in future opportunities.
After listening to the episode, if you would like to view the FDA safety Communications about medical devices or any other products, you can do so here: FDA Safety Communications
If you would like to leave feedback or comment on the safety communications linked above or any of the issues from the meeting discussed in the episode, please visit FDA Public Comment by January 19, 2021.
