The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1055, aims to amend the general statutes to clearly define the role and responsibilities of medical device representatives during surgical procedures. This legislation is introduced by Senator Anwar and is currently referred to the Committee on Public Health. The intent of the bill is to ensure that medical device representatives have a well-defined scope of duties when they set up and attend surgical procedures, thereby enhancing the safety and efficiency of such operations.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new legal language that outlines the responsibilities of medical device representatives. By establishing these roles, the bill seeks to provide clarity and accountability in the medical device industry, particularly in the context of surgical settings.
