FDA lifts sales ban of Dalkon shield device
The FDA ended a six month ban on the Dalkon shield IUD, allowing distribution only to doctors who register new patients and keep detailed records. The move conflicts with advisory committee views, which noted prior deaths and infections but found no clear safety difference from other IUDs. The decision follows earlier suspension guidance and aims to study safety with a three year NIH led program.
