CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is a part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and radiological products, like X-ray machines and MRI devices. CDRH reviews new devices before they are marketed, monitors their performance once in use, and enforces regulations to protect public health. Its goal is to make sure medical tools are safe, reliable, and work as intended, helping healthcare providers and patients have confidence in the devices they use for diagnosis and treatment.
