US Food and Drug Administration medical device user fees for 510(k) premarket notifications, Premarket Approvals (PMAs) and other market registration applications will increase by about six percent for the agency’s 2020 fiscal year.
FDA’s 2020 user fee schedule takes effect October 1, 2019, and entails six-percent increases for both standard and small-business rates. The agency’s 2020 fiscal year increases are slightly higher than for 2019, which saw four-percent increases for most user fees.
Manufacturers have until September 30, 2019 to submit premarket applications to FDA and pay lower 2019 user fees.
