Center for Devices and Radiological Health FY 2006 Highlights, (October 1, 2005 through September 20, 2005)

摘要

Fiscal year 2006 coincided with the 100th Anniversary of the FDA, the oldest consumer protection agency in the nation. As one of five FDA centers, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) plays an integral role in efforts to safeguard the public health. It is therefore fitting to align CDRH fiscal year 2006 accomplishments with four overarching Agency goals: To empower patients and consumers and enhance public health through better information about regulated products; To increase access to innovative products and technologies to improve health; To improve product quality, safety, and availability through better manufacturing and product oversight; and To transform FDA business operations, systems, and infrastructure to support FDAs mission in the 21st century.
