Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Guidance – XPRO AMERICA

An Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) allows medical device manufacturers to conduct clinical trials in the United States using investigational devices that have not yet received FDA clearance or approval. IDE submissions enable the collection of safety and effectiveness data essential for regulatory pathways such as 510(k), De Novo, or PMA.
At XPRO AMERICA, we offer expert guidance and full-service support for companies navigating the IDE process, ensuring compliance with FDA regulations while facilitating clinical research.
Key Services:
- IDE Eligibility Assessment: We evaluate your device and intended study to determine whether an IDE is required, and identify the appropriate regulatory pathway for clinical investigation.
- IDE Submission Preparation: Our team prepares comprehensive IDE applications, including device description, clinical protocol, risk analysis, labeling, informed consent templates, and supporting preclinical data.
- FDA Communication & Review Support: XPRO AMERICA manages communications with FDA reviewers, addresses requests for additional information, and facilitates clarifications to ensure timely IDE approval.
- Clinical Trial Planning & Management: We assist in designing study protocols, selecting investigators, monitoring regulatory compliance, and coordinating submission updates to FDA during the trial.
