An expert panel convened for an informative discussion regarding medical Right to Repair at the MD Expo New England. Mike Busdicker, Binseng Wang, Nathan Proctor and Rob Kerwin took the stage as Chris Nowak moderated the discussion.
After prepared remarks, the panel fielded questions from the more than 200 HTM professionals in attendance at the session sponsored by Zopec Medical.
A brief history of Right to Repair and landmark moments were shared by panel members.
Overall, the key takeaways were how HTM professionals need to raise their voice to be heard in the nation’s capital while at the same time educating and encouraging C-suite level decision makers at hospitals to also ring the bell.
Collaboration among ISOs, in-house biomeds and OEMs was another hot topic.
It was pointed out that many of the OEM’s stated concerns in the United States do not seem to be a hindrance in the European Union or in the middle of a pandemic. Questions were raised as to why that is the case.
References were also made to FDA, FTC and other decisions and statements that indicate that third-party repairs are not a safety issue.
