Team Secures FDA Clearance for Life-Saving Product
A team from the Defense Health Agency has been recognized with a program management award for securing FDA clearance for a life-saving product for military working dogs. The Canine Freeze-Dried Plasma (cFDP) Integrated Product Team successfully navigated complex manufacturing and regulatory hurdles to deliver a shelf-stable, portable product that can be administered at the point of injury. This breakthrough may have significant implications for the treatment of trauma-induced blood loss in austere environments. The award was announced during the Military Health System Research Symposium in Kissimmee, Florida, and was first reported by Unknown Source.
