As the medical device market grows due to continued innovation and changing demographics, it is imperative for industry to be able to successfully commercialize their technologies and procedures within a reasonable and definable time frame. Since its latest iteration in 2012, the Medical Device User Fee Program has helped speed up decision times. With the new proposed budget request, uncertainty is a challenge companies will have to overcome. MCRA looks to define and clarify some of that uncertainty with this white paper.
The white paper is the result of the collaboration between Vice Presidents Glenn Stiegman and Tim Hunter, Senior Director Keith Tode, and Associate Jack Kiraly. Mr. Kiraly, a recent addition to the MCRA team, had this to say: "We are concerned by the proposed budget, however, even if passed, there will still be opportunities for industry to navigate regulatory pathways to approval." MCRA has the experience of former FDA professionals, as well as an integrated team of regulatory, clinical, quality, reimbursement, and healthcare compliance specialists.
