FDA regulations for new equipment and drugs are very strict. I've submitted many 501(k) for medical equipment for approvals to them. The equipment hospitals/doctors use "on", "in you" for "blood test results", and new pharmaceuticals must have FDA approval. The steps involved are rigorous and highly scrutinized and take years of data. Have they made mistakes? Yes. They have also kept (and removed) hundreds of substandard drugs and medical devices off the market. Among hundreds of drugs not approved, they kept Thalidomide which caused horrible birth defects off the US Market in the 60's.
