Re: FDA (b)anality

[Bill Swallow <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Isn't it your regulatory affairs guy's job to decide these things so
your company is compliant with the industry and the laws surrounding
it? If the FDA insists you use the statement, then you likely need to
use it as-provided. Any changes would need to be approved by the FDA
else they could find your company at fault.
