But the considerable shortcomings in the FDA's inspection programme for devices were highlighted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the same body that last November issued a damning report on the agency's record of inspecting foreign drug manufacturing plants.

The latest report was delivered by Marcia Crosse, director, healthcare at the GAO, as testimony before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
