LMAO!!!! Idiots Can't Read
The bill is talking about a National Medical Device Registry
To facilitate an analysys of postmarket safety on things like PACEMAKERS.
"device that is implantable, life-supporting or life-sustaining"
The actual bill is on the internet and you can scroll down to find the pages
energycommerce.house.gov...
Pages 1003-1004
I know most of it is hard to read, but this part about the "implanted devices" is pretty clear....NO THEY AREN'T GOING TO MICROCHIP YOU
They're trying to protect you ...unless you'd like to have unsafe medical devices put in you....
....and you can google alot of things, just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true..
The FDA already does this...
FDA definition of Class II devices
Class II: General Controls with Special Controls Class II devices are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to assure safety and
effectiveness, and additional existing methods are available to provide such assurances. Therefore, Class II devices are also subject to special
controls in addition to the general controls of Class I devices. Special controls may include special labeling requirements, mandatory performance
standards, and postmarket surveillance. Devices in Class II are held to a higher level of assurance than Class I devices that they will perform as
indicated and will not cause injury or harm to patient or user. Devices in this class are typically non-invasive and include x-ray machines, PACS,
powered wheelchairs, infusion pumps, surgical drapes, surgical needles and suture material,acupuncture needles.
Examples of Class III devices which require a premarket approval include replacement heart valves, silicone gel-filled breast implants, implanted
cerebral stimulators, implantable pacemaker pulse generators and endosseous (intra-bone) implants (with the exception of root-form endosseous dental
implants which were recently reclassified as Class II
