The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public meeting entitled "Home Health Care Committee" (the committee). The committee will recommend to the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) appropriate actions that may be taken to promote safe and effective use of medical devices in the home environment. The committee was formed as part of CDRH's strategic planning to understand impediments to the safe and effective operation of medical devices used in the home environment. The committee is interested in learning from other agencies, from industry, and from the public how agencies can work better together using outside interested parties to make medical devices used in the home environment more safe and effective.
