- Preventing Surgical Fires Initiative
The FDA is seeking to build a coalition of public and private healthcare organizations with expertise in product use, risk management, standard setting, and many other areas of quality care and safety. Together, we can development and implement effective risk reduction strategies for preventing surgical fires. They welcome other organizations who want to join in the Preventing Surgical Fires Initiative.
