One of the ways that I try to stay in touch with the world of medical device regulations is by subscribing to the CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) mailing lists (http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/OfficeofMedicalProductsandTobacco/CDRH/ucm135906.htm). This service helps keep you abreast of the recalls, safety, device clearances and updates to regulations.
