The Food and Drug Administration showed off cutting-edge laboratories on its new campus here yesterday, previewing its expanding efforts to ensure the safety of medical products.

White-coated scientists displayed the latest technologies for making sure that new drug-releasing stents work properly and that iPods don't interfere with pacemakers - all signs, officials said, of the agency's steps to apply its safety mission to the latest technologies and their possible complications.

"We have to keep pace with the advances being made in science and technology by having state-of-the-art facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, state-of-the-art infrastructure and the appropriate kind of people to use these resources," said Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach, the FDA commissioner.
