The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to reauthorize the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act (MDUFMA II).
Passed in the House as part of H.R. 2900 (the Food and Drug Administration Amendments of 2007), MDUFMA II reauthorizes the collection of medical device user fees for the 2008-2012 fiscal years. The fees will be used to improve the speed at which new medical imaging technologies are approved by the FDA, according to the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) of Rosslyn, VA.
The bill also provides for a reduction in fees for small businesses, enhanced performance goals for the FDA, and provisions impacting third-party inspections, MITA said.
