AN ACT REQUIRING HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO NOTIFY PATIENTS REGARDING RECALLED MEDICAL DEVICES.

SB 265 requires health care providers to directly notify patients if a medical device they prescribed is later recalled by the manufacturer or regulatory agency. This applies to any patient who received a device subject to a recall, such as for safety concerns or defects. The bill mandates that providers inform patients of the recall, ensuring they receive timely information to address potential health risks. The goal is to improve patient safety by shifting the responsibility for notification from manufacturers to the provider who prescribed the device.
