Dear Experts,
My company located in the United States is making two kinds of devices:
1. Tonometer
2. Blood Glucose monitoring device
We are planning to submit 510k applications. To support the indications for which we want clearance, we have decided to do clinical trials.
My questions are:
1. Since these devices are NSR (No significant risk) devices, I believe we would need only IRB approval and not FDA approval for the commencement of the study, is that right? Is there some way to bypass IRB approval, or is it mandatory before initiating any human clinical trial in the US?
2. Can we outsource our clinical testing to India. Will FDA accept clinical test data from outside the US to support applications inside of US. If we comply with all FDA regulations to execute the testing in India, will they accept it to support marketing application in the US.
Kindly advise. I look forward to your expert opinions,
Thanks so much!
