But again, you’re still regulated.” “We don’t feel people should unnecessarily leave money on the table, nor should they foolishly aggravate FDA and receive a warning letter and get told to cease and desist.” “When you’re in the trenches day-to-day, trying to convince them to use something that’s real-world data is work. It can be done, though!” Links:Mark DuVal DuVal & Associates Cardiac Arrest: 5 Years as a CEO on the Feds Hit List (book) Guidance for Industry Distributing Scientific and Medical Publications on Unapproved New Uses — Recommended Practices Medical Product Communications That Are Consistent With the FDA-Required Labeling — Questions and Answers Washington legal foundation case General/Specific Intended Use - Guidance for Industry Etienne Nichols LinkedIn a href="https://www.greenlight.guru/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
