FDA to Increase FY 2010 User Fees

The FDA recently announced an increase in user-fees for medical device manufacturers. For FY 2010, device manufacturers will pay about 8.5 percent more than FY 2009 for PMA devices. Companies with revenues less than $100 million annually can qualify for a small-business exemption, which MDMA successful advocated for during the inception of the device user-fee program in 2002.
