AI Summary
This bill, the Safeguarding Therapeutics Act of 2020, establishes the authority for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to destroy counterfeit medical devices that are offered for import, without the opportunity for export, if the device is valued at $2,500 or less. The bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify the definition of a "counterfeit device" as one that bears an unauthorized trademark, trade name, or identifying mark, or is manufactured using an unauthorized design. The bill also requires the Secretary to issue regulations to provide notice and an opportunity for the device's owner or consignee to challenge the decision to destroy the device before it is destroyed.
