Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) Regulatory Inspections

ProPharma recognizes the importance of FDA Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) inspections in ensuring compliance with regulatory standards across clinical trials and research facilities. These inspections cover all parties involved in drug and device trials, such as sponsors, CROs, investigators, IRBs, and labs. Our BIMO Inspection Readiness service helps organizations not only pass FDA inspections but also build a culture of compliance, quality, and improvement, ensuring data integrity and patient safety while avoiding costly delays.

BIMO Inspection Readiness Gap Assessment Process

As a leading quality and compliance consulting firm, ProPharma’s BIMO Inspection Readiness Gap Assessment service is designed to prepare sponsors, Contract Research Organizations (CROs), and clinical sites for FDA Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) inspections. We leverage the expertise of our global clinical auditing and clinical compliance consultants to help clients proactively identify and address gaps in their compliance practices, ensuring they meet required regulatory standards and are prepared for rigorous FDA scrutiny.

ProPharma’s BIMO readiness assessment strategy includes:

  • Regulatory Document Review
  • Data Integrity and Source Document Verification
  • Subject Safety and Informed Consent Process
  • Personnel Training and Qualifications
  • Investigational Product (IP) Handling
  • Adverse Event (AE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Reporting
  • Data Management and Recordkeeping
  • Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) Review
  • Final Report and Recommendations

ProPharma's BIMO readiness assessment processes collectively aim to identify compliance risks, reinforce adherence to FDA and ICH guidelines, and prepare sites for a smooth, successful FDA inspection. Our consultants provide a tailored set of actionable recommendations to address identified gaps. We work with clients to create Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) plans that are clear, measurable, and achievable, addressing both immediate compliance issues and the root causes of deficiencies. Our CAPA plans help organizations strengthen their compliance foundation, reducing the risk of similar gaps arising in the future.

Ongoing Support and Remediation

Following a BIMO gap assessment or BIMO mock inspection, ProPharma offers support throughout the remediation process, helping clients implement CAPA plans, refine SOPs, update documentation, and conduct follow-up assessments. We remain engaged to verify that corrective actions are effectively integrated into the organization’s compliance framework, ensuring long-term inspection readiness.

On-Site or Virtual Mock Inspections

ProPharma's Bioresearch Monitoring (BIMO) mock inspections simulate an FDA BIMO inspection, offering clients a realistic preview of how their clinical sites and teams might perform during an actual inspection. During this exercise, our consultants interview key personnel, review processes and procedures in real-time, and provide feedback on any gaps or areas for improvement. This hands-on phase allows organizations to practice responding to inspector questions and handling inspection activities smoothly, building confidence and reducing the risk of errors during an actual BIMO inspection.

Our BIMO mock inspection replicates a real FDA inspection and helps clinical research sites identify and address potential compliance gaps.

The scope of a BIMO mock inspection typically includes:

  • Preparation and Documentation Review
  • Facility Walkthrough
  • Review of Study Documentation and Data
  • Regulatory Compliance Checks
  • Investigational Product (IP) Accountability
  • Informed Consent Process
  • Adverse Event (AE) and Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Reporting
  • Personnel Interviews
  • Data and Record Audits
  • Mock Inspection Exit Meeting and Report

BIMO Inspections Don’t Have to Be Stressful.

Our experts specialize in mock audits, gap analyses, training, and corrective action support to keep your clinical and biological research inspection-ready.
