The Medical Product Safety Network (MedSun) improves FDA's understanding of problems with the use of medical devices so that the FDA, healthcare facilities, clinicians, and manufacturers can better address safety concerns. The MedSun Web page is a newsletter-based website which provides monthly updates about timely medical device issues that may impact patient safety. This website also provides public access to de-identified reports 2 sent into the MedSun program, in addition to important safety information to MedSun participants and to the national clinical community about reported problems.
