Question from @anitakumar01 on lack of an FDA Commissioner nominee from Biden.
@PressSec says: "There sometimes is a journey on personnel and determining who the right person is for the job ... it's a priority but I don't have an update for you on when he will nominate someone."
Other than the headline, this is a great piece by @NicoleWetsman on how FDA decides 510(k) eligibility. It really boils down to whether new device has:
- same intended use
- same *types* of S&E questions
In the case of @clue it clearly met both criteria.

I agree with @nathancortez that it's an "old regulatory approach applied to very new types of products", but what is sometimes forgotten is that there have *always* been new types of products FDA has had to figure out how to regulate.

This is a great example of a well run study that led to breakthrough de novo authorization. Also a great example of the transparency we get for ML/AI products that go through the FDA.
Ecstatic to see our research published in @JAMACardio today! This study was the primary basis for last year's De Novo authorization of our breakthrough AI-guided image acquisition software.

A new AI program provides turn-by-turn instructions so non-specialist operators (eg nurses) can obtain TTE images. In this study expert echocardiographers judged the views diagnostic for LV size & function, RV size, pericardial effusion ja.ma/2OGVSYG
