Med Tech Talk with Akin Gump: FDA regulation of UV products used in hospitals

Healthcare Purchasing News sat down with Nathan Brown, a partner in the Food, Drug and Device Practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Field LLP, to help us understand FDA regulation of UV products used in healthcare spaces where medical equipment is present and the new federal medical device classification, "whole room microbial reduction device."

We asked him to explain what this new FDA regulation means for hospitals, why it's important, and how it will help healthcare facilities using or adding UV technology.
