U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) is urging the FDA to choose medical device regulatory reforms that will simplify manufacturing processes, according to a news release from Sen. Bennet.
In a letter to the FDA, he also urged the agency to adopt successful approaches from other countries and consider private-public partnerships.
Earlier this week, the FDA announced a "Strategic Plan for Regulatory Science" initiative to foster innovation through better science.
