You’re saying the 30 day window started on 6/28 but I’m saying it started sometime between 6/28 and 7/9, that is all I’m saying, and I am 100% not wrong. And I’m pretty sure you are not right.
If you look at the FDA website, it looks like there could even be something that needs to be physically mailed. (may or may not apply here, didn’t really look too much into this)
For most devices, you must mail the Company Cover Letter and valid eCopy to CDRH’s or CBER’s Document Control Center (DCC). The current mailing address for CDRH’s DCC and a link to CBER’s DCC’s mailing address are provided on the eCopy Program for Medical Device Submissions webpage.

The receipt date is not necessarily the date received. But it sounds like if it was electronically sent the submission date and received date should be close.
Submission vs. Receipt Dates:
Submission Date: This is the date when the sponsor (usually the device manufacturer or developer) sends the IDE application to the FDA. This can be through various methods like electronic submission or physical mail.
Receipt Date: This is the date when the FDA officially receives and logs the submission into their system.
The date the FDA marks as the receipt date can indeed differ from the submission date. Factors influencing this difference include:
Shipping and Handling: If the submission is sent by mail, the time taken for delivery will affect the receipt date.
Administrative Processing: Once received, there may be a delay in logging and processing the submission within the FDA's systems.
Electronic Submissions: For electronic submissions, the receipt date is typically when the FDA's system acknowledges and logs the submission, which can still be different from the exact time the submission was sent.
Importance of Dates:
The official receipt date is crucial for regulatory timelines. The FDA typically has 30 days from the receipt date to review an IDE submission and respond to the sponsor. Therefore, understanding these dates helps in planning and anticipating the regulatory review process.
