Health And Safety

(NAPSA)—Have you ever wondered if whole-body CT scans are safe? Would youlike to participate in a forum of consumers, health professionals and academia interested in FDApolicy? If so, FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)has a Website for you. The FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health constantly updates health-related sites. There, the Diabetes Information site (http: / /www.fda.gov / diabetes) addresses many aspects of the disease including glucose testing and disease management. The CT Scanning page (www.fda.govu /cdrh/ct) has links and printable pamphlets about full-body CAT scans. The HumanFactors page (www.fda.gov / cdrh /humanfactors) discusses how devices are made safer and easier to use. CDRH would like anyone with an interest in specific medical device issues to join its Contacts Listing database at www.fda. gov /cdrh/contactslisting. CDRH will only contact members whose interests match its needs. Those who are chosen may be invited to share ideas with a Federal agency that makes daily decisions about healthcare. Visit the CDRH Website (www. fda.gov/cdrh) to find links to all these sites and more, with information about FDA policies, medical devices, safety alerts, public meetings and answers to your questions.
