FDA's report "Understanding Barriers to Device Quality"

FDA's Center of Device and Radiological Health (CDRH) recently published a report addressing the perceived barrier in medical device regulatory bodies and medical device industry.

 It is interesting to see that FDA is taking a much more proactive and collaborative approach in working with industry in "Identifying the barriers" in all areas of medical device market activities, benchmarking best Quality practices in/outside of industry, and improving the transparency of quality data to general public in order make quality a major purchase consideration for HCP and other medical devices customers.

FDA's review on how Industry executive's perceive  inspection activities and how their countermeasures created undesired abrasion between the Agency and Industry, also makes a pretty good read.
