12/16/2019 – eCopy Program for Medical Device Submissions: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff

This is an updated version of the guidance that was issued on October 10, 2013. It provides clarification to the processing and technical standards for eCopies based on FDA’s experience to date with the program.
