  • Hospital São José Criciúma: The NCT Campus String Is Not the ANVISA 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 ANVISA, 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 Hospital São José Criciúma as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Hospital Sao Jose Criciuma first-in-human, Hospital Sao Jose Criciuma clinical trial, Sao Jose Criciuma CRO, or “go direct Hospital São José Criciúma,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Hospital São José in Criciúma, Brazil, is a real named hospital string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ANVISA file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the hospital is the site. 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.

    This page is the named Criciúma Hospital São José campus. It is not Hospital Sao Jose São Paulo (a different city string), not CEPON (CMS 95865), not Nereu Ramos (CMS 95860), and not the Sociedade Literária Santo Agostinho legal-name string as a union. Sharing a São José name 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 31 (CMS 95886–95893 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 We do not publish a unique-study union across alias strings.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=8 and DEVICE n=1. Do not clone a São Paulo São José onto this slug. Do not union Santo Agostinho.

    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 “São José Criciúma first-in-human” finds ALL n=8 (DEVICE n=1) without finding ANVISA. 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 in Criciúma is not a CEPON 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.

    Do not smear the hospital

    Hospital São José Criciúma is a serious named Santa Catarina hospital on the public registry. ALL n=8 / DEVICE n=1 is registry volume, not a punchline. 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 ANVISA / 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 Hospital São José Criciúma directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The hospital can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ANVISA 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 hospital. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as CEPON or a São Paulo São José?

    No. CEPON is CMS 95865. Hospital Sao Jose São Paulo is a different city string. This page is Criciúma only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT04322123?

    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. Santa Catarina sibling (do not merge): CEPON.

  • Clínica Internacional Lima: The NCT Campus String Is Not the INS 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 INS, 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 Internacional Lima as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Clinica Internacional Lima first-in-human, Clinica Internacional Peru clinical trial, Clinica Internacional CRO, or “go direct Clínica Internacional Lima,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Clinica Internacional in Lima, Peru, is a real named private-clinic string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the INS file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the clinic is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns INS / DIGEMID, accredited 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 Lima Clínica Internacional campus. It is not Anglo Americana (CMS 95888), not Ricardo Palma (CMS 95882), not Rebagliati (CMS 95870), and not INEN (CMS 95644 skip). Sharing Lima is not a license to collapse them. Do not union the Sede San Borja research-unit string.

    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.

    What the clinic 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 Clínica Internacional is not an Anglo Americana 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.

    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 hospital

    • Fundacao Universidade de Caxias do Sul (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=9; DEVICE n=0. Example NCT IDs: NCT06750094, NCT07258511, NCT05242484.

    Cite canonical ALL n=9 and DEVICE n=0. Do not union the FUCS accented alias. Do not clone UEL 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 “Caxias do Sul first-in-human” finds ALL n=9 (DEVICE n=0) without finding ANVISA. A named 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:

    • 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 FUCS is not a UEL 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.

    Do not smear the hospital

    Fundação Universidade de Caxias do Sul is a serious named Rio Grande do Sul university on the public registry. ALL n=9 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 ANVISA / 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 Fundação Universidade de Caxias do Sul 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 ANVISA 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 UEL or Tacchini?

    No. UEL is CMS 95879. Hospital Tacchini is CMS 95885. This page is FUCS Caxias do Sul only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT06750094?

    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. RS siblings (do not merge): Tacchini, UEL.

  • Hospital Aranda de la Parra León: 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 Hospital Aranda de la Parra León as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Hospital Aranda de la Parra first-in-human, Aranda de la Parra Leon clinical trial, Aranda CRO, or “go direct Hospital Aranda de la Parra León,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Hospital Aranda de la Parra in León, Mexico, is a real named hospital 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 hospital is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns COFEPRIS, accredited 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 hospital still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named León Aranda de la Parra campus. It is not Morales Vargas (CMS 95889), not Universidad de Guanajuato, not Clínica de Reumatología y Obesidad Guadalajara (CMS 95824), and not Hospital Civil Guadalajara. Sharing León 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 31 (CMS 95886–95893 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=9 and DEVICE n=0. Do not clone Morales Vargas 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 hospital as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Aranda de la Parra first-in-human” finds ALL n=9 (DEVICE n=0) without finding COFEPRIS — and without landing on Morales Vargas. A named hospital is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    • 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:

    • 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 Aranda de la Parra is not a Morales Vargas 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.

    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.

    • 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 hospital

    Hospital Dr. Gustavo Fricke is a serious named Viña del Mar hospital on the public registry. ALL n=8 / DEVICE n=1 is registry volume, not a punchline. 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 ISP / 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 Hospital Dr. Gustavo Fricke Viña del Mar directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The hospital can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ISP 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 hospital. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as Icegclinic, CeCim, or PUC Chile?

    No. Icegclinic is CMS 95876. CeCim is CMS 95868. PUC Chile stays skipped. This page is Gustavo Fricke only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT00715637?

    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. Chile siblings (do not merge): Icegclinic, CeCim.

  • Hospital Evangélico Cachoeiro de Itapemirim: The NCT Campus String Is Not the ANVISA 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 ANVISA, 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 Hospital Evangélico Cachoeiro de Itapemirim as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Hospital Evangelico Cachoeiro de Itapemirim first-in-human, Cachoeiro clinical trial, Hospital Evangelico CRO, or “go direct Hospital Evangélico Cachoeiro de Itapemirim,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Hospital Evangelico de Cachoeiro de Itapemirim in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Brazil, is a real named evangelical-hospital string on ClinicalTrials.gov. It is not a first-in-human medical-device CRO, and it is not the operator of the ANVISA file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the hospital is the site. 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.

    This page is the named Cachoeiro de Itapemirim Hospital Evangélico campus. It is not Hospital Tacchini (CMS 95885), not Hospital de Caridade de Ijuí (CMS 95881), not CEPON (CMS 95865), and not a Vitória campus guess. Sharing Espírito Santo 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 30 (CMS 95878–95885 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.

    • Hospital Evangelico de Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Brazil) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=9; DEVICE n=0. Example NCT IDs: NCT05920356, NCT04746924, NCT06252649.

    Cite canonical ALL n=9 and DEVICE n=0. Do not invent a Vitória campus 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 hospital as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “Cachoeiro first-in-human” finds ALL n=9 (DEVICE n=0) without finding ANVISA. 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 in Cachoeiro is not a Tacchini 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.

    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 Instituto de Infectologia Emílio Ribas São Paulo directly for a device FIH?

    You can try. The institute can discuss investigator interest, local visit costs, and ethics calendars. It cannot, by ranking on ClinicalTrials.gov, become your ANVISA 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 institute. We will not invent that claim. This page intercepts the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as IPEC or ICESP?

    No. IPEC is CMS 95838. ICESP is CMS 95642. This page is Emílio Ribas only.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT00005918?

    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. São Paulo siblings (do not merge): ICESP, Samaritano.
