The document discusses a presentation given to the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) about implementing an Alfresco-based document management system called DocMan. It provides background on Armedia, the company pitching the solution, an overview of CDRH's goals to improve electronic recordkeeping and collaboration around medical device submissions, and details of the proposed Phase 1 DocMan solution which would streamline reviews and integrate with other systems.

7. Business Governance March 13, 2013
The Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (Public Law 112-144)
includes the Medical Device User Fee Amendments of 2012, or MDUFA III
Medical device companies pay fees to FDA when they register their establishment and
list their devices with the agency, whenever they submit an application or a notification
to market a new medical device in the U.S. and for certain other types of submissions
MDUFA III represents a commitment between the U.S. medical device industry and the
FDA to increase the efficiency of regulatory processes in order to reduce the time it
takes to bring safe and effective medical devices to the U.S. market
Under MDUFA III, the FDA is authorized to collect user fees that will total approximately
$595 million (plus adjustments for inflation) over five years. In exchange, the FDA has
committed to meet certain performance goals based on the timeliness of reviews
