U.S. FDA Medical Device Contract
Funding provided by FDA under this contract allows the
Texas Department of State Health Services to enhance its inspection
capabilities associated with licensed medical device manufacturers, resulting
in an increased number of inspections of these facilities. Inspections of
medical device manufacturers helps to minimize the potential for adulterated
and misbranded products to be introduced into commerce in Texas. Funding
under the contract also provides for basic and advanced training of state
inspectors in order to maintain adequate levels of proficiency required to
accomplish these complex inspections. Additionally, the medical
device industry benefits from the regulatory guidance provided by state
inspectors during these inspections, thereby helping to ensure that Texas
manufacturers are operating in conformance with all applicable state and
federal requirements.
