   To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to exempt from 
 regulation as devices non-invasive diagnostic devices, and for other 
                               purposes.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Medical Innovation Acceleration Act 
of 2025''.

SEC. 2. EXEMPTING NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICES FROM REGULATION AS 
              DEVICES.

    Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 
U.S.C. 321(h)) is amended--
            (1) by striking ``section 520(o)'' and inserting the 
        following: ``section 520(o) or any non-invasive diagnostic 
        device''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following: ``For purposes of 
        the preceding sentence, the term `non-invasive' means, with 
        respect to a diagnostic device, that the device does not 
        penetrate the skin or any other membrane of the body, is not 
        inserted or implanted into the body, causes no more than 
        ephemeral compression or temperature changes to in situ bodily 
        tissues, and does not subject bodily tissues to ionizing 
        radiation.''.
