Accelerate Medical Innovation with BioBoston Consulting IDE Application Services

Bring your medical device from prototype to human trials with confidence. BioBoston Consulting provides end-to-end IDE application support and regulatory strategy to help device sponsors secure Investigational Device Exemptions and launch compliant, scientifically robust clinical studies in the United States.

What an Investigational Device Exemption Means for Your Program

An Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) authorizes the use of an unapproved medical device in clinical research to collect safety and effectiveness data. IDEs are required for Significant Risk devices and inform Institutional Review Board decisions for Non‑Significant Risk devices. A successful IDE submission includes device description, intended use, manufacturing and quality controls, clinical protocol, risk-benefit analysis, and informed consent documentation.

Why IDE Applications Matter for Device Innovators

• Regulatory compliance — Conducting SR device trials without an IDE violates FDA requirements and risks enforcement.
• Clinical credibility — An approved IDE validates study design, safety oversight, and ethical standards.
• Market pathway — IDE-generated clinical data supports future PMA or 510(k) submissions.
• Investor confidence — Regulatory milestones like IDE clearance strengthen investor and partner trust.

How BioBoston Consulting Delivers IDE Success

• Regulatory strategy and risk classification — Determine SR vs NSR and recommend the optimal regulatory path.
• Complete document preparation — Draft and review protocols, risk assessments, manufacturing information, labeling, and informed consent.
• FDA engagement and meeting support — Prepare for pre-submission meetings, respond to FDA feedback, and manage regulatory correspondence.
• Clinical trial readiness — Support IRB submissions, site selection, investigator training, and monitoring plans.
• Quality and CMC alignment — Ensure manufacturing controls and device traceability meet FDA expectations.

 

Common IDE Pitfalls and How We Prevent Them

• Incomplete device descriptions or manufacturing details — resolved with thorough CMC and device depictions.
• Vague protocol endpoints or safety monitoring plans — addressed via robust protocol drafting and statistical input.
• Poorly prepared informed consent — fixed by clear, IRB-friendly consent documents.
• Lack of early FDA engagement — mitigated by pre-submission strategy and targeted questions for the agency.
