FDA launched the Medical Device Epidemiology Network (MDEpiNet) to develop the infrastructure and methodological approaches for conducting robust analytic studies that will improve FDA's understanding of medical device performance. Danica Marinac-Dabic, Director, Division of Epidemiology, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Frederic Resnic, Director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, Bringham and Women's Hospital and Assistant Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School; and Art Sedrakyan, Associate Profressor of Public Health, Director, Patient-Centered Comparative Research Program, Weill Cornell College will present on various aspects of MDEpiNet. The presentations will include a discussion about MDEpiNet's role as part of a comprehensive postmarket national medical product surveillance strategy, an update on the current status of MDEpiNet and progress of its pilot projects, and a discussion about its future direction.
