Summary
This bill requires the Food and Drug Administration to update its regulations relating to the manufacture of human cells, tissue, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps), including an update to the definition of minimal manipulation. (The regulations are commonly referred to as the tissue rules; HCT/Ps that are minimally manipulated and meet other criteria are not regulated as drugs, devices, or biologics and therefore are not subject to premarket review.)
