The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Friday that it has created its first list of medical supplies that are facing a shortage just hours after President Trump touted the administration's production of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other devices.
In an effort to prevent stockpiling or hoarding of supplies, the list does not reveal the product manufacturers, but lists that ventilators, respirators, masks, surgical gowns, gloves and sterile swabs are on short supply.
The new list comes as cases of COVID-19 see spikes nationwide and record-breaking counts are reported weekly in different states.

The lies were bad enough. But it's those damn lies that are killing us ...Great post, JANFU! :thumbs:
We should be throwing roses to the FDA as well. America is beginning to stand up and fight back against the lies and damned lies from Trump and his people concerning COVID-19.
Thank you for pointing it out.

Doesn't matter. My state's ICU occupancy is 76% (43% if you add in surge beds) and only 20% of vents are in use for all patients types. Other people's problems are other people's problems.
The constant state of denial?
Tell that to the dead.

I am not the one with denial problems:
August 14, 2020:
"Five months ago, as the coronavirus pandemic surged across the nation, the urgency to build more critical care ventilators swelled to meet a shortage of the life saving machines.
So General Motors and Ventec Life Systems teamed up to produce ventilators. In just two weeks, the companies will deliver the full 30,000 ventilators they owe the U.S. government, helping to bring the U.S. stockpile closer to an inventory level that positions the nation to withstand any near-term pandemic spikes.
While there is not currently a shortfall of ventilators in the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS), the new ventilators procured during the COVID-19 response will ensure the United States is prepared to respond to any hotspots in the coming months as well as any future public health emergency response that might require these devices for lifesaving care," said Amber Dukes, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in an email to the Free Press.
The Strategic National Stockpile has more than 95,100 ventilators available for deployment to hospitals across the United States as of Thursday. The stockpiled devices can be used as "a short-term, stop-gap buffer when the immediate supply is not sufficient," Dukes said. "
No shortfall in US supply of ventilators as GM, Ventec end contract
Ooh boy, this does not bode well for the man who runs the FDA, Trump and his acolytes are going to come for him HARD.
Great, all the work has been done in producing ventilators, but the list also includes parts for ventilators. It is great that you produce loads of ventilators but if the tubes it uses and the things to clean the devices are not also made in bulk, it is going to go on the list as shortage for the FDA. So having a ventilator is not going to be as much use if the other products that should go with the main ventilator itself are in short supply. Which is what I guess the FDA is indicating, it has on the list of shortages of CBK ventilator related items.
Now CBK ventilators refers I guess to this list Product Classification
Did the "Cuff, Tracheal Tube, Inflatable" (which is part of the CBK ventilator list of items) production increase enough to be used on all the ventilators now in use?
You can ignore the reality of what the FDA reports on or believe FREEP who do not have a clue what is needed besides ventilators itself to safely ventilate people.
When you have someone without a vent, let me know. In the mean time, Trump has amassed the stockpile that Obama pretended to be building but never did. #4MoreYears
