1. Establishment Registration and Device Listing Fees

  • Class I devices are typically exempt from paying user fees for establishment registration and device listing. These fees are generally only applicable to Class II and Class III devices that require 510(k) or PMA submissions.
  • FDA registration and listing for Class I devices is free. However, there may be some administrative or service fees if you use a third-party consultant or service provider to assist with registration.

2. Third-Party Service Providers or Consultants (Optional)

  • If you choose to hire a regulatory consultant or use a third-party service provider to assist with the registration process, the cost will depend on the complexity of your device and the services you require.
  • Consultant fees can range from $500 to $5,000 USD or more, depending on the level of service provided.

3. Compliance Costs

  • While Class I devices are not subject to 510(k) submissions, you may still incur costs to ensure compliance with FDA's Quality System Regulations (QSR), labeling requirements, and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) under 21 CFR Part 820.
  • These compliance costs will vary depending on the scale of your manufacturing processes, quality control systems, and whether you need to establish or update your facility’s compliance infrastructure.

4. Post-market Surveillance and Maintenance Costs

  • After your device is registered, you may have additional ongoing costs for post-market surveillance, including tracking complaints, conducting recalls if necessary, and maintaining records to ensure continued FDA compliance.

Summary:

  • FDA registration and listing for Class I devices is generally free.
  • If you use third-party services for assistance, costs can range from $500 to $5,000 USD or more.
  • Compliance costs (e.g., for QSR and labeling) depend on your device and manufacturing processes.
