FDA launches website to report allegations of regulatory misconduct

The Food and Drug Administration created a new webpage for individuals to report allegations of regulatory misconduct against medical device manufacturers or companies marketing devices.

Potential allegations of regulatory misconduct include failure to register and list a medical device, marketing unapproved products and misleading promotion, according to the FDA.

Members of the public can submit complaints through a new online form on the company's website. While users can report allegations anonymously, the FDA encourages individuals to leave their contact information in case additional information is needed.

The FDA hopes this reporting system will help the agency identify potential patient risks and determine if further investigation is necessary, according to the report.
