Theodore M. Sullivan quoted in article "FDA Moves to Help CMS With Device Coverage Decisions"

Below is an excerpt:

The updates the draft guidance makes to the FDA's categorization process simplifies what was a complicated procedure, Theodore Sullivan, a Washington-based attorney at Quarles & Brady LLP, told Bloomberg BNA May 31.
