FDA CDRH Staff Cuts Impact Source for MedTech Dive

Reporter request on FDA (CDRH) Hello, my name is Elise Reuter, and I’m a reporter for MedTech Dive. Our publication covers the FDA’s device center (CDRH). Last year, I wrote about the mass firings that took place in February and April. I’m looking to better understand what’s happening at CDRH a year after the cuts. In particular, I’ve been watching for any impacts to device reviews, recalls and other processes from being short staffed, but I’m interested in hearing what you think is important. Your input has been critical in understanding what’s happening across the agency. I take your privacy very seriously, and will consider anything you share with me off record unless we agree otherwise. You can reach me on signal at elisereuter.78 For some context, I will be writing a piece set to publish this spring about the impact of the staff cuts. I will also be covering MDUFA negotiations and digital health policy this year. Here’s my bio, and here is some of my past coverage: https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-cdrh-cuts-device-industry-impact/740528/ https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-cdrh-device-staff-return/740813/ https://www.medtechdive.com/news/fda-cdrh-device-rif-cuts/744212/ Thank you so much for your courage and for the work you do. Be safe, and be well.
