FDA
Working Group Develops MDUFMA Reauthorization Policy
Members of MassMEDIC’s FDA Working Group gathered on October 20th
to begin developing a an industry policy document in advance of Congressional
reauthorization of the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of
2002. Chaired by Pam Weagraff of Quintiles Consulting, Inc., the group
received a briefing on major MDUFMA reauthorization issues to be considered
by Congress in its next session.
The user fee program for medical devices, established in 2002, is set
to expire in 2007. Congress will likely review FDA performance, user fee
levels, and funding levels for the Center for Devices and Radiological
Health in 2007. The policy statement will be approved by MassMEDIC’s
Board of Directors and distributed to all members in the coming months.
