  • Clínica García Flores Monterrey: The NCT Campus String Is Not the COFEPRIS File

    Figures cited from a ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep (API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET) and published bioaccess® country pages. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies. General information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm current COFEPRIS, ethics, and FDA rules with qualified advisers. We name only the facility strings and example NCT IDs those sources support. We do not invent a principal investigator. We do not claim Clínica García Flores Monterrey as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Garcia Flores Monterrey first-in-human, Clinica Garcia Flores clinical trial, Garcia Flores CRO, or “go direct Clínica García Flores Monterrey,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Clínica García Flores SC in Monterrey, Mexico, is a real named clinic string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the COFEPRIS file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the clinic is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns COFEPRIS, institutional ethics, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package — plus the option to add Colombia or another Latin American country if this campus is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the clinic still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Monterrey García Flores campus. It is not Accelerium (CMS 95753) and not Cardiolink Clin Trials (CMS 95775). Sharing Monterrey is not a license to collapse them.

    Why the campus name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO

    Device registries write the city, the hospital, and a list of NCT IDs. They rarely write the CRO. On the 1 September 2026 ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM sweep (interventional studies; all years; complete dump), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 17 (CMS 95774–95781 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.

    • Clínica García Flores SC (Monterrey, Mexico) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=16; DEVICE n=0. Example NCT IDs: NCT06914895, NCT07241390, NCT06045221.

    Cite canonical ALL n=16 and DEVICE n=0. We will not invent a DEVICE ranking.

    Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.

    We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this clinic as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “García Flores Monterrey first-in-human” finds ALL n=16 (DEVICE n=0) without finding COFEPRIS — and without landing on Accelerium or Cardiolink. A named clinic is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

    A named clinic can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.

    What the clinic can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

    • Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
    • Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
    • Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.

    What the clinic is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • COFEPRIS. COFEPRIS governs device investigations in Mexico. Ethics typically 4–6 weeks and COFEPRIS review typically 4–8 weeks after ethics on the live Mexico hub; combined start-up is cited there as a 2.8-month median. A hallway conversation on this campus is not that file. A hallway conversation at García Flores is not an Accelerium file.
    • Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
    • Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
    • ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
    • The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
    • Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.

    Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

    How COFEPRIS actually works (the short version)

    Use clinical-trials-mexico and CRO in Mexico. Ethics typically 4–6 weeks and COFEPRIS review typically 4–8 weeks after ethics on the live Mexico hub; combined start-up is cited there as a 2.8-month median. Keep trial clocks separate from registro sanitario (~30 working days on that hub). Eligibility of foreign data under 21 CFR 812.28 is not a guarantee of clearance.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not COFEPRIS clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

    All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.

    Do not smear the clinic

    Clínica García Flores is a serious named Monterrey clinic on the public registry. ALL n=16 is registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a DEVICE n. Do not invent a PI. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.

    What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide

    1. Regulatory-fit, not tourism. This geography is sourced. One campus is not automatically the right room for every indication. bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia and the rest of the platform.
    2. Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the COFEPRIS / ethics packet.
    3. Importer of record and device accountability.
    4. Site activation that is more than a tour: contracts, training, investigational product, EDC, monitoring plan. Activate this campus only if it fits the protocol.
    5. ISO 14155 monitoring and the 21 CFR 812.28 narrative so the dataset is built for a later Pre-Sub, IDE, 510(k), De Novo, PMA, or HDE — eligibility, not a promise of FDA action.

    The firm was founded in 2010. That is the operator layer around a campus string.

    Colombia is still on the map

    A site-name search sometimes arrives with a stale story that bioaccess® “left Colombia.” That is false. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia. Always bioaccess® — local entity and office, Miami headquarters, INVIMA clocks in-country. The country page’s published comparison: Panama ethics 3–5 weeks vs. Colombia 4–6 weeks; per-patient $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on clinical-trials-panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Clínica García Flores Monterrey directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The clinic can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your COFEPRIS applicant, importer of record, insurer, ISO 14155 monitor, or 21 CFR 812.28 packager. Contract the CRO, then let the CRO activate the site if the site fits.

    Did bioaccess® run the NCT IDs listed here?

    No public bioaccess® case-study page names this clinic. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as Accelerium or Cardiolink?

    No. Accelerium is CMS 95753. Cardiolink is CMS 95775. This page is Clínica García Flores, Monterrey only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT06914895?

    No. We cite it as facility evidence. We will not invent a sponsor or a PI.

    Next step

    If the search that brought you here was this campus, start as the operator: contact bioaccess® or book from First-in-Human CRO. Monterrey siblings (do not merge): Accelerium, Cardiolink.

  • Universidad de Antioquia Medellín: The NCT Campus String Is Not the INVIMA File

    Figures cited from a ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep (API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET) and published bioaccess® country pages. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies. General information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm current INVIMA, ethics, and FDA rules with qualified advisers. We name only the facility strings and example NCT IDs those sources support. We do not invent a principal investigator. We do not claim Universidad de Antioquia as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Universidad de Antioquia first-in-human, UdeA clinical trial, Universidad de Antioquia CRO Medellín, or “go direct Universidad de Antioquia,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Universidad de Antioquia in Medellín, Colombia, is a real named university string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the INVIMA file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the university is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns INVIMA, institutional ethics / CEI, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package — plus the option to add Colombia or another Latin American country if this campus is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the university still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Medellín Universidad de Antioquia campus. It is not Hospital Universitario San Ignacio (CMS 95631), not Fundación Valle del Lili (CMS 95771), not Servimed Bucaramanga (CMS 95754), and not Oncomedica Montería (CMS 95719). Hospital Mental de Antioquia in Bello stays off this slug. A named Medellín university does not change the public Colombia line: bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia.

    Why the campus name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO

    Device registries write the city, the hospital, and a list of NCT IDs. They rarely write the CRO. On the 1 September 2026 ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM sweep (interventional studies; all years; complete dump), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 16 (CMS 95766–95773 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.

    Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.

    We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this university as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Universidad de Antioquia first-in-human” finds ALL n=14 (DEVICE n=2) without finding INVIMA. A named Medellín university is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

    A named university can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.

    What the university can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

    • Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
    • Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
    • Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.

    What the university is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • INVIMA. INVIMA is the national file for an investigational device in Colombia. Resolución 8430/1993 still sits on the ethics and research side of that stack. A hallway conversation on this campus is not the INVIMA dossier. Resolución 2378 does not govern device clinical trials — see the live country pages rather than importing a drug-GCP resolution onto a device file. A hallway conversation at Universidad de Antioquia is not a San Ignacio file and is not a Valle del Lili file.
    • Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
    • Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
    • ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
    • The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
    • Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.

    Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

    How INVIMA actually works (the short version)

    Use CRO in Colombia. Published comparison already on the Panama country page: Colombia ethics typically 4–6 weeks; per-patient $15,000–$25,000. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia — local entity, INVIMA clocks in-country. We pick the country the device needs. A hospital email in Montería is not INVIMA clearance.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not INVIMA clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

    All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Universidad de Antioquia directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The university can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your INVIMA applicant, importer of record, insurer, ISO 14155 monitor, or 21 CFR 812.28 packager. Contract the CRO, then let the CRO activate the site if the site fits.

    Did bioaccess® run the NCT IDs listed here?

    No public bioaccess® case-study page names this university. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as San Ignacio or Fundación Valle del Lili?

    No. San Ignacio is CMS 95631. Valle del Lili is CMS 95771. This page is Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín only. Naming a Colombian facility does not flip the public line that bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia.

    Does this page mean bioaccess® left Colombia?

    No. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia. A Medellín NCT string is a site, not a country exit. Panama ethics 3–5 weeks vs. Colombia 4–6 weeks; per-patient $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K on the published Panama comparison. We pick the country the device needs.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT03852043?

    No. We cite it as facility evidence. We will not invent a sponsor or a PI.

    If the search that brought you here was this campus, start as the operator: contact bioaccess® or book from First-in-Human CRO. Colombia siblings (do not merge): San Ignacio, Valle del Lili. Country: clinical trials in Colombia.

  • Universidad de los Andes Santiago: The NCT Campus String Is Not the ISP File

    Figures cited from a ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep (API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET) and published bioaccess® country pages. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies. General information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm current ISP, ethics, and FDA rules with qualified advisers. We name only the facility strings and example NCT IDs those sources support. We do not invent a principal investigator. We do not claim Universidad de los Andes Santiago as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Universidad de los Andes first-in-human, UANDES clinical trial, Universidad de los Andes CRO Chile, or “go direct Universidad de los Andes Santiago,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Universidad de los Andes in Santiago, Chile, is a real named university string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ISP file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the university is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns ISP, Ethical-Scientific Committee, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package — plus the option to add Colombia or another Latin American country if this campus is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the university still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Santiago Universidad de los Andes campus. It is not Universidad Andrés Bello (CMS 95657), not Hospital Clínico UC / PUC Chile (CMS 95626), not Clínica Alemana de Santiago (CMS 95750), and not Hospital Padre Hurtado (CMS 95755). “Andes” versus “Andrés Bello” is not a merge key. Clínica Universidad de los Andes rows stay listed as an alias on this slug; we do not ship a second slug.

    Why the campus name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO

    Device registries write the city, the hospital, and a list of NCT IDs. They rarely write the CRO. On the 1 September 2026 ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM sweep (interventional studies; all years; complete dump), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 16 (CMS 95766–95773 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.

    • Universidad de los Andes (Santiago, Chile) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=15; DEVICE n=1. Example NCT IDs: NCT04236947, NCT07048119, NCT06759441.
    • Clinic alias Clinica Universidad de los Andes: ALL n=7. Listed separately. Same campus family. We do not invent a unique-study union of 15+7.

    Cite canonical ALL n=15 and DEVICE n=1. Cite alias ALL n=7 separately. Do not clone UNAB or Católica onto this slug.

    Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.

    We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this university as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Universidad de los Andes first-in-human” finds ALL n=15 (DEVICE n=1) without finding ISP — and without landing on UNAB or Católica. A named Santiago university is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

    A named university can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.

    What the university can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

    • Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
    • Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
    • Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.

    What the university is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • ISP. Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP) authorizes studies and investigational-device import in Chile. Live Chile blogs already put a typical ISP review in a band of about 30 business days. Commercial ISP registration (30–90 days) is a different file. An Ethical-Scientific Committee under Law 20.120 still has to sit. A hallway conversation on this campus is not that stack. We will not invent PAHO/WHO Level 4 standing for ISP. A hallway conversation at Universidad de los Andes is not a UNAB file and is not a Católica file.
    • Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
    • Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
    • ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
    • The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
    • Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.

    Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

    How ISP actually works (the short version)

    Use clinical-trials-chile. Instituto de Salud Pública (ISP) authorizes studies and investigational-device import. Live Chile blogs already put a typical ISP review in a band of about 30 business days. Commercial ISP registration in a 30–90 day band is a different file — do not put trial authorization and commercial registro on one Gantt labeled “Chile.” An Ethical-Scientific Committee under Law 20.120 still has to sit. We will not invent PAHO/WHO Level 4 standing for ISP on this page.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ISP clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

    All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.

    Do not smear the university

    Universidad de los Andes is a serious named Santiago university on the public registry. ALL n=15 / DEVICE n=1 is registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a PI. Do not merge UNAB onto this campus. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.

    What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide

    1. Regulatory-fit, not tourism. This geography is sourced. One campus is not automatically the right room for every indication. bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia and the rest of the platform.
    2. Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the ISP / ethics packet.

The First-in-Human CRO still owns ANVISA/CEP, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package — plus the option to add Colombia or another Latin American country if this campus is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the hospital still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    Why the campus name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO

    Device registries write the city, the hospital, and a list of NCT IDs. They rarely write the CRO. On the 1 September 2026 ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM sweep (interventional studies; all years; complete dump), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 16 (CMS 95766–95773 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.

    Cite canonical ALL n=16 and DEVICE n=0. We will not invent a DEVICE ranking.

    Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.

    We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this hospital as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Vera Cruz Belo Horizonte first-in-human” finds ALL n=16 (DEVICE n=0) without finding ANVISA — and without landing on Santa Casa BH or Felício Rocho. A named hospital is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

    A named hospital can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.

    What the hospital can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

    • Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
    • Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
    • Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.

    What the hospital is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • ANVISA. Device investigations sit under RDC 837/2023 (dossier in Portuguese: IB, protocol, ICF, insurance, GMP evidence). A hallway conversation at this campus is not that dossier. A hallway conversation at Vera Cruz is not a Santa Casa Belo Horizonte file.
    • Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
    • Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
    • ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
    • The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
    • Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.

    Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

    How ANVISA actually works (the short version)

    Use clinical-trials-brazil: combined ethics + ANVISA typically 6–10 weeks under Law 14874 and RDC 837/2023; CEPs capped at 30 business days; published per-patient range $20,000–$35,000. Trial authorization and later market registration are separate workstreams.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ANVISA clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

    All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.

  • Clínica Adventista Belgrano: The NCT Campus String Is Not the ANMAT File

    Figures cited from a ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep (API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET) and published bioaccess® country pages. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies. General information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm current ANMAT, ethics, and FDA rules with qualified advisers. We name only the facility strings and example NCT IDs those sources support. We do not invent a principal investigator. We do not claim Clínica Adventista Belgrano as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Clinica Adventista Belgrano first-in-human, Adventista Belgrano clinical trial, Adventista CRO Buenos Aires, or “go direct Clínica Adventista Belgrano,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Clinica Adventista Belgrano in CABA, Argentina, is a real named clinic string on ClinicalTrials.gov. This is the first Belgrano slug in this intercept series. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ANMAT file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the clinic is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns ANMAT, institutional ethics, investigational import, insurance, ISO 14155 monitoring, and the FDA 21 CFR 812.28 package — plus the option to add Colombia or another Latin American country if this campus is not the only fit. Sponsors who skip the CRO and email the clinic still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Belgrano Adventista campus. It is not CEMIC (CMS 95770), not CEMEDIC (CMS 95718), and not Hospital Alemán Buenos Aires (CMS 95717). Sharing CABA is not a license to collapse them.

    Why the campus name wins the search — and why that is not a CRO

    Device registries write the city, the hospital, and a list of NCT IDs. They rarely write the CRO. On the 1 September 2026 ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM sweep (interventional studies; all years; complete dump), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 16 (CMS 95766–95773 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.

    • Clinica Adventista Belgrano (CABA, Argentina) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=16; DEVICE n=0. Example NCT IDs: NCT05516758, NCT07222566, NCT06875310.

    Cite canonical ALL n=16 and DEVICE n=0. We will not invent a DEVICE ranking. First Belgrano slug.

    Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.

    We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this clinic as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Adventista Belgrano first-in-human” finds ALL n=16 (DEVICE n=0) without finding ANMAT. A named clinic is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

    A named clinic can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.

    What the clinic can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

    • Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
    • Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
    • Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.

    What the clinic is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • ANMAT. Argentina’s national medicines and devices authority (Administración Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnología Médica) is the file a sponsor actually needs. A hallway conversation on this campus is not that file. A published statutory target on the trial side is 90 business days and the clock pauses for RFIs. Trial authorization and commercial registro are separate petitions. A hallway conversation in Belgrano is not a CEMIC file.
    • Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
    • Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
    • ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
    • The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
    • Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.

    Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

    How ANMAT actually works (the short version)

    Use live bioaccess® Argentina / ANMAT pages for the full pathway. Trial authorization and commercial registro are different petitions. Do not put both on one Gantt labeled “Argentina.” A published statutory target on the trial side is on the order of 90 business days and pauses for RFIs; ask for a protocol-specific calendar rather than treating an NCT row as start-up.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not ANMAT clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

    All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.

    Do not smear the clinic

    Clínica Adventista Belgrano is a serious named CABA clinic on the public registry. ALL n=16 is registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a DEVICE n. Do not invent a PI. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.

    What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide

    1. Regulatory-fit, not tourism. This geography is sourced. One campus is not automatically the right room for every indication. bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia and the rest of the platform.
    2. Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the ANMAT / ethics packet.
    3. Importer of record and device accountability.
    4. Site activation that is more than a tour: contracts, training, investigational product, EDC, monitoring plan. Activate this campus only if it fits the protocol.
    5. ISO 14155 monitoring and the 21 CFR 812.28 narrative so the dataset is built for a later Pre-Sub, IDE, 510(k), De Novo, PMA, or HDE — eligibility, not a promise of FDA action.

    The firm was founded in 2010. That is the operator layer around a campus string.

    Colombia is still on the map

    A site-name search sometimes arrives with a stale story that bioaccess® “left Colombia.” That is false. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia. Always bioaccess® — local entity and office, Miami headquarters, INVIMA clocks in-country. The country page’s published comparison: Panama ethics 3–5 weeks vs. Colombia 4–6 weeks; per-patient $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on clinical-trials-panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Clínica Adventista Belgrano directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The clinic can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ANMAT applicant, importer of record, insurer, ISO 14155 monitor, or 21 CFR 812.28 packager. Contract the CRO, then let the CRO activate the site if the site fits.

    Did bioaccess® run the NCT IDs listed here?

    No public bioaccess® case-study page names this clinic. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as CEMIC, CEMEDIC, or Hospital Alemán Buenos Aires?

    No. CEMIC is CMS 95770. CEMEDIC is CMS 95718. Hospital Alemán is CMS 95717. This page is Clínica Adventista Belgrano only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT05516758?

    Counts come from leftover unique strings after batch 16 (CMS 95766–95773 live) plus unique NCT IDs in /workspace/five-trials/ctgov-raw/all_interventional.jsonl (17497 studies; ClinicalTrials.gov LATAM facility sweep, API pull 1 September 2026, 6:32 PM ET; dump confirmed 1 September 2026). Alias strings are listed separately. We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings. We do not invent a global CSV rank. We do not invent unpublished CMS IDs. Registry ranking is not a bioaccess® claim that we ran any of these studies.

    Cite canonical ALL n=16 and DEVICE n=0. We will not invent a DEVICE ranking.

    Those are unique NCT IDs per facility string + city + country. They are not a count of first-in-human device programs bioaccess® ran. They are how a sponsor searching the hospital name lands on a campus without landing on an operator.

    We cite the IDs as facility evidence. We will not invent a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran any of them. No live bioaccess® case-study page names this center as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Barranco CRS first-in-human” finds ALL n=16 (DEVICE n=0) without finding INS, DIGEMID, ethics, import, insurance, or 21 CFR 812.28. A named Lima research site is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The site is the site. The CRO is the operator.

    A named center can provide rooms, coordinators, institutional ethics calendars, and investigators who already appear on NCT rows. That is necessary. It is not sufficient for a first-in-human medical device study a U.S. board expects to survive FDA review.

    What the center can typically do when a sponsor “goes direct”:

    • Discuss investigator interest and whether a protocol can sit in an existing service line.
    • Share institutional ethics-committee calendars and hospital research rules.
    • Quote visit, staffing, and local procedure costs for the cases they will physically run.

    What the center is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • INS. INS (DIIS, formerly OGITT) authorizes trials in Peru. DIGEMID under MINSA regulates devices and investigational import. Accredited ethics is required. A hallway conversation in Lima is not that stack. We will not invent DIGESA onto this page. We do not invent a Peruvian legal entity. A hallway conversation at Barranco CRS is not an Almenara file and is not an INEN file.
    • Investigational import. Ethics letter, investigator’s brochure, and an importation permit — end-to-end work, not a PI email. See importer of record for clinical trial devices in Latin America.
    • Clinical trial insurance. Required. We will not invent a campus-only premium here.
    • ISO 14155 monitoring, EDC, SAE reporting, and the TMF. The site may run visits. The CRO runs the quality system the FDA will later ask about.
    • The 21 CFR 812.28 package. Foreign data is eligible for FDA submission and review after GCP / ethics documentation. Eligibility is not clearance, and a site MSA does not produce it.
    • Multi-country optionality. If enrollment or the indication later needs another Latin American country, a single-hospital MSA will not stretch.

    Going direct to this campus is how you confirm a room. It is not how you open an investigational file.

    How INS actually works (the short version)

    Use clinical-trials-peru. INS (DIIS, formerly OGITT) authorizes trials. A published statutory target on that hub is 40 business days in the drug-trial framework, and 60 business days when a biologics / technical commission applies. A novel first-in-human device may take longer. We will not invent a new Peruvian clock on this page. DIGEMID under MINSA regulates devices and investigational import. Accredited ethics is required. The Peru hub already cites experience-based cost on the order of ~30% lower versus US/EU — that is a country-page figure, not a campus quote we invent here. We do not invent a Peruvian legal entity on this page.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not INS clearance. bioaccess® manages the file. That is CRO work, not site work.

    All bioaccess® device protocols in this country are run under ISO 14155 and the Declaration of Helsinki. Data is designed to be eligible for FDA submission and review under 21 CFR 812.28 on a case-by-case basis — not a guarantee of clearance or approval. See OUS FIH and FDA IDE.

    Do not smear the center

    Barranco CRS is a serious named Lima research site on the public registry. ALL n=16 is registry volume, not a punchline. Do not invent a DEVICE n. Do not invent a PI. Do not invent a Peruvian legal entity. Use the site when the protocol fits. Hire the operator.

    What the CRO still does after you have the campus on a slide

    1. Regulatory-fit, not tourism. This geography is sourced. One campus is not automatically the right room for every indication. bioaccess® still runs trials in Colombia and the rest of the platform.
    2. Protocol, IB, ICF, insurance, and the INS / ethics packet.
    3. Importer of record and device accountability.
    4. Site activation that is more than a tour: contracts, training, investigational product, EDC, monitoring plan. Activate this campus only if it fits the protocol.
    5. ISO 14155 monitoring and the 21 CFR 812.28 narrative so the dataset is built for a later Pre-Sub, IDE, 510(k), De Novo, PMA, or HDE — eligibility, not a promise of FDA action.

    The firm was founded in 2010. That is the operator layer around a campus string.

    Colombia is still on the map

    A site-name search sometimes arrives with a stale story that bioaccess® “left Colombia.” That is false. bioaccess® still runs clinical trials in Colombia. Always bioaccess® — local entity and office, Miami headquarters, INVIMA clocks in-country. The country page’s published comparison: Panama ethics 3–5 weeks vs. Colombia 4–6 weeks; per-patient $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on clinical-trials-panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Barranco CRS Lima directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The center can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your INS applicant, importer of record, insurer, ISO 14155 monitor, or 21 CFR 812.28 packager. Contract the CRO, then let the CRO activate the site if the site fits.

    Did bioaccess® run the NCT IDs listed here?

    No public bioaccess® case-study page names this center. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as Almenara, María Auxiliadora, INEN, or Cayetano Heredia?

    No. Almenara is CMS 95763. María Auxiliadora is CMS 95765. INEN is CMS 95644. Cayetano Heredia is CMS 95697. This page is Barranco CRS, Lima only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT02583048?

    No. We cite it as facility evidence. We will not invent a sponsor or a PI.

    Next step

    If the search that brought you here was this campus, start as the operator: contact bioaccess® or book from First-in-Human CRO. Lima siblings (do not merge): Almenara, INEN. Country: clinical trials in Peru.
