FDA’s top medical device safety official fired in Trump-Musk cuts
SHARE

The Trump administration recently terminated the head of medical device safety at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Ross “Rusty” Segan, over the weekend. This move came as a shock to many, as Segan had only been in the role since September and was still within his probationary two-year period with the agency. Michelle Tarver, the chief of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, broke the news to staff in an email that was reviewed by STAT, a trusted source for healthcare news.

In addition to Segan, Tarver also mentioned that a “significant” number of employees from the device center were let go. This sudden decision has raised concerns within the medical device industry and among FDA staff members. Segan’s departure may have significant implications for the regulation and oversight of medical devices, as his role was crucial in ensuring the safety and efficacy of these products.

The FDA plays a critical role in evaluating and approving medical devices before they can be marketed and used by healthcare providers and patients. The agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health is responsible for regulating a wide range of medical devices, including diagnostic tests, surgical instruments, and implantable devices.

The termination of key personnel like Segan could disrupt the FDA’s ability to effectively review and regulate medical devices, potentially putting patients at risk. It remains to be seen how the agency will address the staffing changes and maintain its commitment to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices.

As this story unfolds, it is important for stakeholders in the medical device industry to closely monitor any developments and advocate for strong leadership and oversight within the FDA. The agency plays a crucial role in safeguarding public health, and any disruptions to its operations could have far-reaching consequences.
