Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Medical Device Shortage Reduction Act of 2023
This bill expands the scope of required notifications about medical device shortages beyond public health emergencies.
Currently, manufacturers of medical devices that are critical during a public health emergency (e.g., devices that are life-supporting, life-sustaining, or intended for use in emergency medical care or during surgery), or for which the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determines information about the supply chain is necessary during a public health emergency, must notify HHS of expected shortages of such devices. Manufacturers may voluntarily provide information on expected shortages of other critical medical devices, whether or not there is a public health emergency.
The bill expands these provisions so as to generally require manufacturers to notify HHS of expected shortages of critical medical devices, whether or not there is a public health emergency. It also requires manufacturers to develop risk management plans that identify potential risks to the supply chain of such devices.
