Medical Device User Fee Amendments (MDUFA)

The Medical Device User Fee Amendments (MDUFA) are laws that require medical device manufacturers to pay fees to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when they apply for approval to market their products. These fees help the FDA to review and process applications more efficiently, ensuring that medical devices are safe and effective for public use. MDUFA also supports improvements in the review process and promotes timely access to new medical technologies. Overall, it aims to balance regulation with innovation in the medical device industry.
