As part of its efforts to work with the medical device community on device sterilization alternatives in light of new EPA standards for ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions, the FDA is hosting a virtual town hall on April 29, 2024, from 1:00pm-2:00pm ET.
The town hall is open to all stakeholders and will cover:
- Suggestions the FDA received on potential topics for the sterilization town hall series.
- How the FDA will pivot the format of the series to support more engaging discussions on topics of interest.
Registration is not necessary. Attendees can submit questions to MedicalDeviceSterilization@fda.hhs.gov at least one week in advance of the event.
