Device safety advocates on Tuesday (April 24) voiced support for a proposed amendment to the Senate user fee bill that would limit the use of recalled devices as predicates, with the amendment tweaking a House Democrat's proposal by clarifying that the measure would only apply to predicates that have been recalled based on a design flaw. The narrowed scope could also draw FDA backing as an agency official recently called for a less-expansive predicate nullification approach than that proposed in the House.
