    Is it still required to submit an original hard copy Cover Memo with a wet signature or digital signature in addition to the signed PDF version that is included in the 510(k)?

    Yes. In fact, that requirement was just reiterated by FDA a few days ago in its updated eCopy guidance document.

    Yes, I agree with Kevin.

     

    Also in my recent experiences I have sent FDA both formats either Wet Signature or Printed Image of Signature on the 510(k) Cover Letter along with the full validated eCopy on a USB flash drive and both were accepted. And yes also happy to see it officially this week as a final FDA rule to no longer require the full printed paper version. Many printers will be spared printing thousands of pages. ��

    We include a hard copy cover letter (from a pdf with an electronic/not wet signature) within a binder that contains the submission CDs.  It has been accepted by the FDA with no issues.
    Kind regards
