Survey of Need for Online Medical Device Information
Executive Order 12862 directs agencies to identify the customers
who are, or should be, served by the agency, and to survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of services they want.
This proposed survey will collect data about the information
customers want when looking up medical devices on the Internet. It will
focus on the ways individuals find, use, and rate existing sources of
online medical device information. FDA will use this data to understand
more about its customers and to make improvements to its own Web site.
FDA will administer this survey to individuals who use the Internet
to look for information about medical devices. The survey will consist
of three components: A screening tool of 5,000 to identify appropriate
respondents, an online survey of 500 customers, and a telephone
followup interview with 50 customers.
In the Federal Register of April 20, 2005 (70 FR 20573), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information
collection provisions. No comments were received in response to that
notice.
