US Government Shutdown – What the FDA Can Still Be Doing?

When the U.S. government experiences a shutdown, the consequences ripple across every industry — but for medical device manufacturers, the uncertainty can be alarming.
In this article, Regulatory Expert Rob Packard explores what happens to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during a shutdown, and how it affects global manufacturers.

You’ll learn:

  • Which FDA activities continue, and which are suspended
  • How submissions like 510(k), PMA, and De Novo are impacted
  • What happens to clinical trials, recalls, and ongoing investigations
  • Whether this situation has happened before and how long it could last
  • How companies can prepare and what contingency actions to take

💡 Rob also shares practical advice for manufacturers seeking FDA support during this period, as well as insights into how his team can assist in maintaining compliance and communication continuity.

If you’re part of the medical device ecosystem — this is essential reading.
