according to its investigational plan or proposed labeling is intended for use only with
an approved individually specified drug, device, or biological product where both are
required to achieve the intended use, indication, or effect and where upon approval of
the proposed product the labeling of the approved product would need to be changed,
e.g., to reflect a change in intended use, dosage form, strength, route of administration,
or significant change in dose; or Any investigational drug, device, or biological product
packaged separately that according to its proposed labeling is for use only with another
individually specified investigational drug, device, or biological product where both are
required to achieve the intended use, indication, or effect.
IDE stands for Investigational Device Exemptions, the regulations under 21 CFR 812. An
