Background The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. FDA is also responsible for advancing public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines and foods more effective, safer, and more affordable. Additionally, FDA helps the public get accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health.

The mission of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is to protect and promote public health. CDRH assures that patients and providers have timely and continued access to safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices and safe radiation-emitting products. CDRH provides consumers, patients, their caregivers, and providers with understandable and accessible science-based information about the products under FDA oversight. CDRH facilitates medical device innovation by advancing regulatory science, providing industry with predictable, consistent, transparent, and efficient regulatory pathways, and assuring consumer confidence in devices marketed in the U.S.

The Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL) supports the CDRH mission of protecting and promoting public health. OSEL undertakes the highest quality science to provide its customers with the best methods, tools and expertise to:
