    Hi All- If you receive an additional information request on a Special 510(k), my recollection is that FDA restarts the clock with 30 or 60 days rather than the number of days remaining on the original 30-day clock. I cannot find this scenario in the guidance. Can someone remind me?  Thanks!

    Hello Anon,

    At the request for Additional Information (AI) stage for a Special 510(k) the timeline is the same for a Traditional submission as well - 180 days to respond.  The clock FDA has for Special 510(k) submission does not "reset" this is a target timeframe for them to review these type of submissions.  Their "target" timeframe for review of a Special 510(k) is 30 days which is fairly close to the time they review them in - but remember this is their time, not your time if there is an AI request made.
