The FDA updated its guidance to expand the definition of general wellness products, allowing many devices to be sold without FDA clearance. This shift raises the need for clear differentiation between medical-grade devices and wellness tech to protect consumers and support healthcare stakeholders.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must clearly separate your medical devices from wellness tech to protect customer trust and sustain market access. Educate users and stakeholders now or risk losing credibility and business to non-regulated wellness products.
