FDA ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM (BBS)
|
|
USERS GUIDE
|
|
|
|
WHAT IS THE FDA ELECTRONIC BBS?
|
|
|
|
The FDA electronic BBS is an electronic newsletter provided free-of-
|
|
charge by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Public
|
|
Affairs to professionals interested in FDA issues. All information
|
|
is added to the BBS as soon as it is released.
|
|
|
|
This free service replaces the commercially-provided FDA BBS service
|
|
from British Telecom/Dialcom. This new FDA BBS allows you to access
|
|
the same FDA information, with the same options and the same results
|
|
provided by Dialcom. In addition, it offers a simplified user
|
|
interface and enhanced features not available from Dialcom. The
|
|
features, functions and benefits of this new FDA BBS are described
|
|
in Attachment A to this Users Guide.
|
|
|
|
This new service provides specific access to the FDA BBS only and
|
|
does not duplicate the generalized Dialcom Electronic Mail,
|
|
Electronic News Service or other "for fee" Dialcom services. To
|
|
continue those services, please make separate arrangements with
|
|
Dialcom or other providers.
|
|
|
|
The BBS currently has available:
|
|
|
|
o New releases
|
|
o Enforcement Report (weekly recall list)
|
|
o Drug and Device Product Approvals List
|
|
o Medical Devices and Radiological Health news
|
|
o FDA Medical Bulletin
|
|
o Special section on AIDS information
|
|
o FDA Consumer magazine, index and selected articles
|
|
o FDA Federal Register summaries (available by subject or
|
|
date)
|
|
o Answers arising from questions in news stories
|
|
o Congressional testimony by FDA officials
|
|
o Speeches by FDA officials
|
|
o Veterinary Medicine news
|
|
o Upcoming FDA meetings
|
|
o Import alerts
|
|
o On-line User Guide

The BBS operates on a multi-user computer in the FDA Parklawn
|
|
Computer Center (PCC) at Rockville, MD and is accessible 24 hours a
|
|
day, 7 days a week. For more information about the FDA Electronic
|
|
BBS, contact the FDA Press Office at (301) 443-3285. If technical
|
|
support is needed, contact PCC at (301) 443-7318 during the hours of
|

|
|
|

|
|
your password incorrectly three times, the BBS will disconnect your
|
|
modem and you will need to re-dial the BBS. Otherwise it will
|
