REMS Food and Drug Administration Fda Form

First, I'd like to clarify what is happening. The FDA has posted a notice that requests comments and scientific information to help them in their determination of whether Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHO) should be classified as not GRAS (generally recognized as safe). Page on OfrThere will be a 60 day period for individuals and companies to submit written comments to the regulatory docket. (Regulations.gov) Then the FDA will read through the materials and take the comments into consideration as they issue their rule. If they determine that PHO's are not safe for use in foods, manufacturers will not be able to include these oils in the food sold in the United States unless they get pre-market approval from the FDA to use it as a food additive. Second, if the PHO's are not permitted in foods without pre-market approval, companies will look for substitute oils that are FDA approved. If palm oil is a suitable substitute for PHO's, this could create greater demand for it, however, Malaysia is not the only producer so it is hard to speculate as to the actual impact it will have on the industry in a particular country. It could very likely benefit the Malaysian palm oil industry if there is more demand for their product since the price will rise and this will give the industry additional capital to grow. This could also have a negative impact on the environment if forested land is cleared to plant more palm trees. Malaysia has a limit on the amount of land that can be cleared, so additional capacity will have to come from improved production techniques.

They’re probably doing the best they can. Overall there’s been little problems from this industry. Not that there’s been none but generally nothing like the highly regulated pharmaceutical drugs. There was a report a couple of years ago that roughly 23,000 people go to the emergency room each year for supplement problems. First off this was an extrapolation from one hospital. Secondly the vast majority of these visits were for heart palpitations from weight loss supplements. No long term effects were seen, most were released within a couple of hours after observation. The problem with this type of supplement is that is has some kind of ingredient like caffeine or another stimulant that can cause this but the person taking it thinks it’s “natural” and they don’t even have to follow the directions and take too many of them. Also included in the 23K were people who got large pills like calcium stuck in their throats. Overall 23K sounds like a big problem but when you actually looked at the data, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the headlines sounded.There are over 85,000 different supplements and it’s a low barrier to get a product on the market. So it is difficult to regulate. But there are regulations in place so companies have to have GMP (good manufacturing practices) in place. These are very high standards. But it’s not clear whether the FDA is actually testing the many facilities. I think they aren’t in most cases.Are there other problems in the industry? Yes, definitely. Contamination problems are one. You have to use some common sense when purchasing supplements. Is it a well known company? How many years have they been around? Or is it a one product company located in China with a website?Theoretically there shouldn’t be that many problems in the supplement industry. Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, protein powders, vegetable powders, are all substances that we ingest regularly (maybe not the exact form, ie. powders or isolated nutrients). Herbs are a category that is a bit different, although pretty much all the products on the shelves today have been time tested.Companies who make these products want to stay in business, it’s not in their interest to put products out there that are dangerous. Recalls or problems with products give a company a bad image. And image is a big part of the supplement industry.

To provide you with a more specific answer, we would need additional details. As you may know, FDA classifies devices based on risk; the risk the device poses to the patient and/or the user is a major factor considered in device classification. Class I includes devices with the lowest risk and Class III includes those with the greatest risk.  If a device is exempt from premarket notification (510k) review, the device is still subject to FDA’s establishment registration and device listing requirements.  It is important to note that there are some Class I medical devices that are NOT exempt from premarket review.  Medical devices that undergo premarket notification (510k) review are “cleared” for marketing, not approved, a process whereby FDA determines them to be substantially equivalent to an already marketed device.  Those medical devices that undergo premarket approval (PMA) are “approved” for marketing when FDA determines these devices to be safe and effective for their intended use or indication(s) for use. Premarket reviews are always initiated by the submission of a premarket submission to FDA for review, along with its associated review fee(s).Medical applications, mobile or otherwise, and their regulatory pathways can be challenging to interpret. Medical applications, like all other devices, are regulated on the premise of intended use, potential risk, patient safety and device effectiveness.  Medical applications with the intended use of analyzing, reading, interpreting or modifying data tend to exceed the limitations of Class I exemption and may require premarket review.  Those medical applications, however, with the intended use of transferring, storing, displaying or converting data from one preset format to another, may appear to be exempt from premarket review. It is important to ensure that your product meets the definition of a device, is classified properly, and meets registration and listing requirements.  Other device regulatory requirements to consider include device labeling and quality system regulations.On October 1, 2007, the FDA established a new internet-based system, FDA Unified Registration and Listing System (FURLS), to collect establishment registration and device listing information.  FDA no longer requires the use of, or accepts, the old FDA forms 2891 and 2892 for registration and listing. The owners or operators of establishments or facilities that are involved in the production and distribution of a device (Class I, Class II, or Class III) are required to “initially” register the establishment and list the device(s) via the electronic FURLS system.  When an establishment registers with FDA for the first time, it must do so within 30 days of beginning its device operations. Establishment registration and device listing updates are also required “annually” via FURLS. The registration must then be renewed every year between October 1 and December 31. Along with registration and listing requirements, FDA was also authorized to collect registration fees at the time of initial and annual registration. These fees are adjusted annually.  The establishment registration fee for the Fiscal Year 2013 is $2575 USD.Registrar Corp is a FDA regulatory compliance firm that assists companies with their Medical Device Establishment Registrations, Device Listings, Renewals, and other FDA requirements.

Becuase it makes them look like theyre actually doing something. It’s 95% healthier than smoking, but oh, no, VAPING’s the problem, not cigarettes.it’s becuase its emerging and they dont have tthe best lawyers yet so they’re trying to make it seem like theyre doing something by shutting it down.

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?
