| | Progress in science and technology offers extraordinary opportunities to develop innovative medical products that can save lives and lead to better treatments, better diagnostics and better care for patients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is committed to advancing the public health by helping to bring innovative technologies to market and assuring that medical devices already on the market continue to be safe and effective. As the rate of technological advances moves faster than the science for evaluating the benefits and risks of new products, the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is helping to ensure that device developers have the right test methods to evaluate new innovations. The Catalog of Regulatory Science Tools collates a variety of regulatory science tools that CDRH's Office of Science and Engineering Labs (OSEL) has developed, with new tools added as they become available. These methods expand the scope of innovative science-based approaches to improve the development and assessment of emerging medical technologies. The catalog includes more than 100 tools, including laboratory methods, tissue-mimicking phantoms, and computational modelling and simulations. | | | |
