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.

@seehafer @nathancortez @clubhouse @medtechclub That's a great idea!

@cameron_baston Also if you're interested: Another publication this week in JACC Case Reports highlighted some cases of real-world clinical use of Caption AI by ICU physicians in COVID-19 patients as well. https://t.co/oCXBynsgB8

[Sam Surette @SamSurette_]

@cameron_baston Anecdotally, from my observations, the nurses wouldn't have been successful without Caption AI, but it'd be a great area for further research to compare guided vs. unguided scanning. Here's a testimonial video featuring a study nurse's perspectives:
