The FDA pre-submission (Q-Sub) process can save you time — or sink your submission. In this episode of Device and Conquer, Michelle Lott and Tianna Benson explain how to Pre-Sub like a pro.

They explain when to use a pre-sub, how to structure your questions, and what to expect from FDA’s new eSTAR electronic template. Plus: insider tips on labeling, clinical protocols, and the art of “Does FDA concur?”

You’ll learn:

  • How to use pre-subs to guide your FDA reviewer’s thinking

  • What makes a strong vs. weak pre-sub question

  • The difference between protocols and data (and why it matters)

  • The risks of vague, open-ended questions

  • Why IFUs and labeling now drive early FDA interpretation

  • How FDA feedback lives forever — even from 10 years ago

Listen in and learn how to master the FDA pre-sub process and get insights that will help you move your device forward.
