Earlier this week, CDRH announced it will pursue an optional MDUFMA goal regarding 510(k)s but not one regarding PMAs. For fiscal year 2007, it aims to render a final decision for 80% of 510(k) applications within 90 days. It declined to set a goal of a final decision for 50% of PMA applicaitons within 180 days. AdvaMed and the Medical Device Manufacturers Association gave the news a lukewarm response. The docket for comments is open for about another month. Information about filing comments is available here.
