The cost of FDA registration can vary depending on several factors, including the type of medical device and the specific regulatory pathway chosen. Here’s a breakdown of potential costs involved in FDA registration:

1. FDA Establishment Registration Fee: As of 2024, the FDA charges an annual fee for establishment registration, which varies based on the type of establishment and its size. For example, the fee for a domestic establishment with more than 5,000 employees is higher than for smaller establishments.

2. Premarket Notification (510(k)) Fee: If your device requires a 510(k) submission, there is a user fee associated with this process. The fee varies depending on whether the device is a standard or a small business submission. As of 2024, standard 510(k) submissions require a fee, while small business submissions may qualify for a reduced fee.

3. Premarket Approval (PMA) Application Fee: For devices requiring a PMA application, there is a significant user fee. This fee covers the FDA’s costs associated with reviewing the application and typically applies to higher-risk devices or those not substantially equivalent to a predicate device.

4. Other Fees: Depending on the specifics of your device and submission, there may be additional fees for services such as re-submissions, expedited review requests, or special circumstances.

5. Consulting and Preparation Costs: Many companies choose to work with regulatory consultants or firms specializing in FDA submissions. The cost for consulting services can vary widely depending on the complexity of the device and the scope of services required.

6. Testing and Documentation Costs: Costs associated with conducting necessary testing to demonstrate device safety and effectiveness, as well as costs for preparing required documentation such as biocompatibility testing reports, clinical data, and quality system documentation.

It’s important for manufacturers to budget accordingly and consider all potential costs associated with FDA registration. Fees and costs may change over time, so checking the FDA’s current fee schedule and consulting with regulatory experts can help ensure accurate budgeting and planning for FDA registration of medical devices.
