The medical device industry’s public relations campaign to push the regulatory agenda its way hit another level today, with industry advocates testifying before a U.S. House subcommittee, studies taking aim at the Food & Drug Administration and even an op-ed from a pair of friendly legislators.
A House Energy and Commerce panel, the subcommittee on health, is slated to hear about the “Impact of Medical Device Regulation on Jobs and Patients” today, led by chairman Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.). Med-tech industry reps will likely find a sympathetic ear in Pitts.
