Camb Times reports on the effort here.

In this six minute storybook, the artists tells the tale of how the rest of the world follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s lead in requiring no clinical trial clearance for market, unlike the stricter requirements for drugs.

Fast-track is how the FDA’s approval system for medical devices is known, the 510(k) approval process.

"Substantial equivalence" is all that is required for a manufacturer to gain clearance to market- that, a few thousand dollars, and an exchange of paperwork.

No wonder artist Deyna-Hayward illustrates women to look like a guinea pig.

Please enjoy this creative storytelling tool.
