  • Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen: 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 Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Almenara first-in-human, Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen clinical trial, Almenara CRO Lima, or “go direct Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen in Lima, Peru, is a real named EsSalud hospital 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 hospital 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 hospital still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Lima Almenara campus. It is not INEN, not Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia, and not Hospital María Auxiliadora (separate page). Sharing Lima is not a license to collapse them. La Victoria city-row variants stay on this page; we do not ship a second page.

    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), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts are unique NCT IDs from a ClinicalTrials.gov sweep of Latin American facilities pulled 1 September 2026.

    • Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen (Lima, Peru) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=15; DEVICE n=3. Example NCT IDs: NCT00860288, NCT05435820, NCT00545129.

    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 “Almenara first-in-human” finds ALL n=15 (DEVICE n=3) without finding INS, DIGEMID, ethics, import, insurance, or 21 CFR 812.28 — and without landing on INEN or Cayetano Heredia. A named Lima 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:

    • 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 Almenara is not an INEN file and is not a Cayetano Heredia 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 in 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 — 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.

    Not a critique of the hospital

    Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen is a serious named Lima EsSalud hospital on the public registry. ALL n=15 / DEVICE n=3 is registry volume, not a punchline. 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. Ethics review in both Panama and Colombia runs on each committee’s meeting schedule. The country page’s published per-patient comparison: $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on Clinical Trials in Panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Hospital Nacional Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen 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 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 hospital. We will not invent that claim. This page answers the search; it does not claim the studies.

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

    No. INEN has its own page. Cayetano Heredia has its own page. María Auxiliadora is a different Lima campus. This page is Almenara only.

    Is this EsSalud instead of MINSA?

    Almenara is a named EsSalud hospital on the public registry. That still does not make it the INS applicant, the DIGEMID import holder, or the 21 CFR 812.28 packager.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT00860288?

    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): INEN, Cayetano Heredia. Country: clinical trials in Peru.

  • Oncosite Ijuí: The NCT Campus String Is Not the ANVISA File

    • Casing alias ONCOSITE – Centro de Pesquisa Clinica em Oncologia: ALL n=16. Listed separately. Same campus. We do not invent a combined unique-study total of 17+16. We do not ship a second page.

    These counts are not added together.

    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.

  • IMIP Recife: 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 IMIP Recife as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched IMIP first-in-human, Fernando Figueira Recife clinical trial, Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira CRO, or “go direct IMIP Recife,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira in Recife, 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 Recife IMIP / Fernando Figueira campus. It is not Hospital Ana Nery (Salvador). Sharing a Brazilian maternal-infant search is not a license to collapse them. Recife Portuguese-beneficence strings stay off this page. Guadalajara and other IMIP lookalikes do not exist on this NCT string.

    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), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts are unique NCT IDs from a ClinicalTrials.gov sweep of Latin American facilities pulled 1 September 2026.

    • Instituto de Medicina Integral Professor Fernando Figueira (Recife, Brazil) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=17; DEVICE n=2. Example NCT IDs: NCT04273945, NCT01359020, NCT02600039.
    • Short alias IMIP (Recife): ALL n=10. Listed separately. Same campus. We do not invent a combined unique-study total of 17+10. We do not ship a second page.

    These counts are not added together.

    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 “IMIP first-in-human” or “Fernando Figueira Recife clinical trial” finds ALL n=17 (DEVICE n=2) without finding ANVISA, CEP, import, insurance, or 21 CFR 812.28. A named Recife 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 IMIP is not an Ana Nery 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 in 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.

    Not a critique of the hospital

    IMIP is a serious named Recife hospital on the public registry. ALL n=17 / DEVICE n=2 is registry volume, not a punchline. This campus is separate from Salvador’s Ana Nery. 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. Ethics timing in Panama and Colombia follows each committee’s meeting schedule. The country page’s published per-patient comparison: $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on Clinical Trials in Panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract IMIP Recife 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 answers the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as Hospital Ana Nery?

    No. Ana Nery has its own page in Salvador. This page is IMIP Recife only.

    Should I add canonical ALL n=17 and short IMIP ALL n=10?

    No. Alias n is listed separately. A combined unique-study total is not published.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT04273945?

    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. Country: clinical trials in Brazil. Salvador sibling (do not merge): Hospital Ana Nery.

  • Núcleo de Pesquisa Clínica do Rio Grande do Sul: 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 Núcleo de Pesquisa Clínica do Rio Grande do Sul as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched Nucleo Pesquisa Clinica Rio Grande do Sul first-in-human, NPCRS Porto Alegre clinical trial, NPCRS CRO, or “go direct Núcleo de Pesquisa Clínica do Rio Grande do Sul,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Núcleo de Pesquisa Clínica do Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil, is a real named research-center 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 center 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 center still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Porto Alegre NPCRS campus. It is not HCPA, not Santa Casa Porto Alegre, not Moinhos de Vento, not Hospital São Lucas da PUCRS, not Hospital Mãe de Deus, and not UFCSPA.

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

Clinica CIMCA in San José, Costa Rica, 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 CONIS file.

    bioaccess®’s position is simple and it is not adversarial: the clinic is the site. The First-in-Human CRO still owns CONIS / Ministry of Health, accredited CEC, 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.

    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), this campus sits here after filters:

    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 “CIMCA first-in-human” finds ALL n=17 (DEVICE n=0) without finding CONIS, CEC, import, insurance, or 21 CFR 812.28 — and without landing on Clínica 20/20. A named San José clinic is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    The Xeltis XPAD early feasibility file (NCT06951685)

    The September sweep counted DEVICE n=0 on the canonical string. The registry writes this campus under a different facility string, Centro de Investigación y Manejo del Cáncer (CIMCA), and that string carries an industry early feasibility study (EFS) of a vascular device. The sweep counts above stay as published; this is a separate record.

    • Record: NCT06951685 — prospective, non-randomized EFS of the Xeltis Peripheral Artery Disease (XPAD) Bypass Conduit in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) scheduled for elective above-knee femoral-popliteal bypass surgery.
    • Sponsor: Xeltis (industry). No collaborator. No CRO named.
    • Site: CIMCA, San José, Costa Rica — the only location row.
    • Named person: none. The record lists no PI, contact, or overall official, and we do not add one.
    • Status and size: active, not recruiting; estimated enrollment 6.
    • Dates: actual start 2 May 2025; estimated primary completion December 2026; estimated completion December 2028; first posted 30 April 2025; last update posted 6 October 2026.
    • Not claimed here: that bioaccess® ran this study; that the record calls it first-in-human; that the clinic is the CRO.

    Registry checked 13 Oct 2026 (ClinicalTrials.gov record, live pull). Registry facts only. Not a claim that bioaccess® ran this study; the record names no contract research organization (CRO) and no collaborator. General information, not legal or regulatory advice.

    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:

    • CONIS. CONIS / the Ministry of Health registers biomedical research after an accredited CEC. Ley N.° 9234 is the statute. Combined ethics + regulatory clocks on the live Costa Rica country page are typically ~30–90 days. A hallway conversation at this clinic is not that registration. A 3% CONIS canon on the study budget is a legal charge, not a CRO fee we invent here. A hallway conversation at CIMCA is not a Clínica 20/20 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 CONIS actually works (the short version)

    Use Clinical Trials in Costa Rica. Costa Rica’s biomedical-research stack sits under Ley N.° 9234. An accredited CEC reviews the protocol first; then the study is registered with CONIS / the Ministry of Health. Combined ethics + regulatory clocks on the live country page are typically ~30–90 days. Confirm the current calendar with qualified advisers; an NCT location row is not CONIS registration. A statutory 3% CONIS canon on the study budget is published as a legal charge — not a CRO fee, and not a clinic markup we invent here. bioaccess® does not invent a Costa Rican legal entity on this page.

    Ask for a protocol-specific calendar. A hospital email is not CONIS 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.

    Not a critique of the clinic

    Clínica CIMCA is a serious named San José clinic on the public registry. ALL n=17 is registry volume, not a punchline. We do not invent a DEVICE n. We do not invent a Costa Rican 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 CONIS / 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. Ethics timing in Panama and Colombia follows each committee’s meeting schedule. The country page’s published per-patient comparison: $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on Clinical Trials in Panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Clínica CIMCA 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 CONIS 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 answers the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as Clínica 20/20?

    No. Clínica 20/20 has its own page. This page is Clínica CIMCA only.

    Is this Clínica 20/20?

    No. That is Clinica 20/20. Same city is not the same NCT string.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT05419375?

    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. San José sibling (do not merge): Clínica 20/20. Country: clinical trials in Costa Rica.

  • INER Mexico City: 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 INER Mexico City as a bioaccess® client.

    If you searched INER first-in-human, Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias clinical trial, INER CRO Mexico, or “go direct INER Mexico City,” you followed a campus string ClinicalTrials.gov still publishes. Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias in Mexico City, Mexico, is a real named national-institute 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 institute 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 institute still have to rebuild that stack. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

    This page is the named Mexico City INER campus. It is not INCan, not INCMNSZ, not Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, not UNAM optometry, and not Conde de Valenciana. Argentine CEMER / CARE “enfermedades respiratorias” strings stay off this page. Sharing a specialty word is not a merge key.

    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), this campus sits here after filters:

    Counts are unique NCT IDs from a ClinicalTrials.gov sweep of Latin American facilities pulled 1 September 2026.

    • Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (Mexico City, Mexico) — canonical NCT string: ALL interventional n=17; DEVICE n=2. Example NCT IDs: NCT07544186, NCT02496182, NCT06854627.

    Longer “Ismael Cosío Villegas” strings are the same campus; we do not ship a second page and we do not invent a combined unique-study total.

    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 institute as a client site.

    That is the leak: a founder searching “INER first-in-human” finds ALL n=17 (DEVICE n=2) without finding COFEPRIS, ethics, import, insurance, or 21 CFR 812.28 — and without landing on INCan or Ignacio Chávez. A named national institute is still a site. An NCT location row is not a CRO.

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

    A named institute 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 institute 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 institute is not built to own for an investigational device:

    • COFEPRIS. COFEPRIS governs device investigations in Mexico. Ethics committee review comes first, then COFEPRIS review; bioaccess® confirms the calendar per protocol. A hallway conversation on this campus is not that file. A hallway conversation at INER is not an INCan file and is not an Ignacio Chávez 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.

    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 in Mexico and CRO in Mexico. Ethics committee review comes first, then COFEPRIS review; bioaccess® confirms the calendar per protocol. 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.

    What the hospital 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.

    What the center 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.

The country page’s published per-patient comparison: $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K as published on Clinical Trials in Panama. We pick the country the device needs. The founder podcast is Global Trial Accelerators™.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I contract Servimed Bucaramanga 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 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 center. We will not invent that claim. This page answers the search; it does not claim the studies.

    Is this the same page as Oncomedica Montería or Hospital Universitario San Ignacio?

    No. Oncomedica has its own page. San Ignacio has its own page. This page is Servimed Bucaramanga 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 Bucaramanga NCT string is a site, not a country exit. In Panama and Colombia alike, ethics timing depends on each committee’s meeting schedule. Per-patient $12K–$22K vs. $15K–$25K on the published Panama comparison. We pick the country the device needs.

    Why DEVICE n=0?

    That is the ranking-table DEVICE count. We will not invent a DEVICE ranking. ALL n=18 is still not INVIMA authorization.

    Did bioaccess® run NCT03616964?

    No. We cite it as facility evidence. We will not invent a sponsor or a PI. We will not claim bioaccess® ran it.
