Bill Summary

A BILL To strengthen medical device supply chains.

AI Summary

This bill aims to strengthen medical device supply chains. It amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to expand the requirement for device manufacturers to notify the FDA of potential disruptions in device supply, allowing the FDA to develop a list of critical devices and require manufacturers to develop risk management plans to address supply chain risks. The bill also directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to report on the use of this notification information and actions taken to mitigate device shortages, and requires the Secretary to issue guidance to facilitate voluntary notifications from manufacturers about discontinuances or interruptions in device production.
