The information below was emailed last night and I wanted to share with y’all on here. The message was originally from the FDA.
Please join us for a Patient Network Live Chat!
Diabetes: Glucose Monitors and Test Strips
Talk with FDA expert Courtney Lias and Patient Advocate Bennet
Dunlap about Glucose Monitors and Test Strips
Monday, March 31, 1:30–2:30 pm (EDT)
Talk, share, and connect with the
FDA and the Diabetes Patient Community
• Do you want to learn more about the role of the FDA in the regulation of medical devices,
such as glucose meters and test strips, used in the management of diabetes?
• Do you want to learn what the FDA is doing to increase the accuracy of blood glucose
monitors and test strips?
When you participate in this friendly online chat, you will:
• Enjoy an informal, open discussion with a fellow patient advocate, CDRH subject-matter-
expert and others in the diabetes community.
• Learn more about the role of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, specifically the
Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and its work to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical
devices used in the management of diabetes.
• Get your questions answered about the newest FDA draft guidances, which are proposing
new recommendations intended to improve the accuracy and safe use of blood glucose
monitoring test systems, giving health care providers and people with diabetes better tools
to manage blood glucose levels.
Whether you want to just listen to the interview to get informed, ask
relevant questions to better understand the medical device regulatory
process or just speak your mind on the newest draft guidance document….
you should join in the conversation.
Mark your calendars and be sure to join us on March 31st, 2014.
