ABSTRACT
In modern times, the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) by the U.S. Congress in 1970 is considered to be an important milestone in regard to health and safety in the United States. Two other important milestones that are specically concerned with medical devices in the United States are the Safe Medical Device Act (SMDA) in 1990 and the Medical Device Amendments of 1976.
