The Medical Device User Fee and
Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA) requires FDA to collect a user
fee from each person who submits certain medical device
applications for FDA review. A "small business" is eligible for
reduced or waived fees. If an applicant does not provide
information to FDA demonstrating to FDA's satisfaction that the
applicant is a small business, the applicant must pay the standard
(full) fee for any application it submits.
