THE 510(K) FDA APPROVAL LOOPHOLE � CONSUMERS BEWARE!

Drhayduke28 Jul, 2022Health

One of the marketing tactics that I commonly see on local TV commercials, internet ads and billboards is for plastic surgeons to proudly post the phrase ?FDA approved? or ?FDA cleared? somewhere in their advertisement. Usually, it is an aggressive advertisement for some type of non-surgical device or non-surgical cosmetic treatment. Technically, the FDA does not actually ?approve? devices; they clear them for sale in the US.
