California Law consists of 29 codes, covering various subject areas,
the State Constitution and Statutes. Information presented reflects laws
currently in effect. |
| CDRH Medical Device
Electromagnetic Compatibility Program |
Extensive laboratory testing by CDRH, and others, has revealed that
many devices can be susceptible to problems caused by EMI. Indeed, the
CDRH has been investigating incidents of device EMI, and working on solutions
(e.g. the 1979 draft EMC standard for medical devices), since the late
1960's, when there was concern for EMI with cardiac pacemakers. |
| The Medwatch Office |
REPORT SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS AND PRODUCT PROBLEMS TO MEDWATCH 1-800-FDA-1088 |
| Medical Device Reporting |
Under the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA), device user facilities
must report device-related deaths to the FDA and the manufacturer, if known.
Device user facilities must also report device-related serous injuries
to the manufacturer, or to the FDA if the manufacturer is not known. In
addition, SMDA also requires that device user facilities submit to FDA,
on a semiannual basis, a summary of all reports submitted during that time
period. The device user facility reporting section of SMDA became effective
on November 28, 1991. |
| NFPA |
To reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality
of life by providing and advocating scientifically-based consensus codes
and standards, research, training, and education |
| OSHA |
The mission of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
is to save lives, prevent injuries and protect the health of America's
workers. To accomplish this, federal and state governments must work in
partnership with the more than 100 million working men and women and their
six and a half million employers who are covered by the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970. |
