AdvaMed says it appreciates that FDA has issued a draft guidance, *Circumstances that Constitute Delaying, Denying, Limiting, or Refusing a Drug or Device Inspection*, to update a previous guidance to include medical devices. The association’s [statement](https://downloads.regulations.gov/FDA-2013-D-0710-0021/attachment%5F1.pdf?ref=fdaweb.com) says FDA should:

- highlight throughout the document that an establishment may provide a reasonable explanation for behavior, encouraging an interactive dialog between investigator and establishment; and
- take into consideration potential issues to safety and privacy of photography to establishment operators.

AdvaMed also includes specific line-by-line comments.
