EMERGO SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS:
US Food and Drug Administration user fees for medical device registrations including 510(k) and Premarket Approval (PMA) applications will increase for the agency’s 2019 fiscal year at a much slighter rate than for 2018.
The latest FDA user fee schedule will increase fees based on total revenue inflation adjustment by about four percent for both standard and small-business applications and related regulatory submissions. The new fees will apply starting October 1, 2018 until September 30, 2019. (Companies hoping to avoid the four-percent fee increase should submit their US market applications by September 30, 2018 to qualify for 2018 fee rates.)
Under the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2017 (MDUFA IV), FDA raised many user fees by 33% or more, and more than doubled the standard fee for 510(k) premarket notification submissions. In addition, FDA began assessing substantial fees for De Novo device applications for the first time last year.

FDA Establishment Registration fees are also slated for a five-percent increase in 2019, to $4,884 from $4,642 in 2018. FDA typically requires companies that manufacture all or part of their devices within the US or perform processing such as sterilization to obtain Establishment Registrations on an annual basis in addition to their US market registrations. (FDA does not offer small-business discounts for Establishment Registration fees.)
