Senator Markey has worked hard to ensure that medical devices – particularly those for children – are approved quickly while protecting both quality and patient safety. In the House of Representatives, Markey passed a law in 2007 that incentivizes the development of devices for children with rare diseases. It also funds “pediatric device consortia,” which bring together innovators and device manufacturers to stimulate the development and availability for medical devices for children.
