The origins of the FDA can be traced back to 1848 when Lewis Caleb Beck was appointed to carry out analysis of agricultural products. That function that the Department of Agriculture inherited when it was created in 1862. It wasn't until 1930 that the FDA was known by its current name, Federal Drug Administration. Their modern day functions began with the passage of the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act. The driving force behind the law was Harvey Washington Wiley, Chief Chemist of the Bureau of Chemistry in the Department of Agriculture, who headed its enforcement in the early years, providing basic elements of protection that consumers had never known before that time.

Is FDA accepted the same as FDA approved?
"FDA Accepted" refers to the 510K process for Medical Devices. Medical devices are generally not "approved" but rather accepted by the FDA. The manufacturer/510K applicant must prove that their device is similar to another device on the market (the "predicate" device) and that it will not cause harm to the patient. The level of proof that must be provided is based upon the classification of the medical device (class 1 = a device that poses little risk to a person such as a toothbrush, an exam light, a dentist's pick, class 3 = anything implanted into the body and/or something that sustains life/prevents loss of life such as an artificial joint or an automated defibrillator).
If there is no "predicate device" (it's a brand new device/technology), then the FDA does "approve" the device and it goes through a stricter review process.
The FDA is currently undergoing a careful review of it's 510K approval process because of all the defective/non-effective devices that the FDA has accepted onto the marketplace.
Alternatively, all drugs (aka prescription pharmaceuticals) go through the "New Drug Application" (NDA) Process and must be formally approved by the FDA to ensure safety, efficacy, and purity of the product.

What does This product has not been evaluated by the FDA mean?
You may see all kinds of products advertised on TV and in print; many make amazing claims, like they say they cure certain diseases or help you lose weight easily, or increase your memory, or whatever. By law, when a product has not been tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has no scientific basis for the claim it is making, the FDA mandates that the ad must conclude with a disclaimer, explaining that this product has never been tested and it may not really prevent or cure any diseases. So, the statement "this product has not been evaluated, etc" means the FDA cannot prove the claims this product is making, because it has never been submitted for scientific testing. The FDA is basically trying to warn you to be skeptical of these product claims: the item may not be dangerous, but it may be a giant waste of your money.
