Wow.

This article is so biased that I don't know where to begin - so I won't. I'm sure that some of my thoughts are already expressed somewhere inside the +400 comments on the NYT website (I admit I only glanced at some). Not that the issues aren't worthy of discussion (definitely there's room for improvement); not that no statements are true; it's just that it's so clear that this is someones's agenda's product, that I can't but think "why bother?..."

The point where they really outdid themselves was where they called the 510k route itself "a loophole". Seriously?!... I haven't heard that one yet.

Really disappointed with the NYT Editorial Board.

Unfortunately, most publications cannot delve into the technicalities of every field and it's very clear on most of the "news" discussions about medical devices (see things like the Bleeding Edge and the Implant Files).
