News Release

Most medical devices do not hit the market through rigorous safety testing but by being deemed similar enough to something already approved—the “predicate” device through a mechanism known as the FDA’s 510(k) pathway. But similar is not a synonym for safe. While the assumption may be that substantial equivalence is a reasonable stand-in for a safety review, a share of devices cleared with this method still get recalled, and the FDA spends valuable time reviewing devices the same way, regardless of how risky it is on paper.

Creating a trusted and secure semiconductor supply chain requires an end-to-end strategy

Creating a trusted and secure semiconductor supply chain requires an end-to-end strategy

Supply Chain Quarterly, October 31, 2022

Semiconductors, the “brains” of modern electronics, power just about everything in our daily lives, from our smart phones to our internet of things (IoT) devices and laptops. Semiconductors are also particularly important to certain industries like auto manufacturing, where new vehicles have computer systems that contain over 100 million lines of code. In the health care industry, high-tech applications like robotic surgery depend on secure, reliable chips. Advanced chips are needed to enable technologies of the future, like quantum computing and artificial intelligence. And most importantly, semiconductors enable the nation’s military capabilities, including transportation, weapons systems, communications, and intelligence gathering capabilities, which make a trusted and secure supply of chips a national security priority.
