Thorny Issues in Medical Device Research
Governed by a complex thicket of regulatory requirements, the landscape surrounding device research can sometimes seem a dense and prickly space.
Watch this webinar to learn how to navigate thorny issues in medical device research, including which regulatory requirements apply to different types of device studies and the unique challenges of studies involving mobile apps and wearable devices.
IRB chairpersons Kindra Cooper and Robert Romanchuk will explore key questions like:
- What makes a device a medical device—what types of studies require a device determination?
- What are the differences between non-significant risk (NSR) and significant risk (SR) device studies—and who determines the status of a device as used in a clinical trial?
- How can researchers plan ahead—what information is essential for IRB review of device research?
Learning Objectives:
- Identify which regulations apply to studies of medical and non-medical devices.
- Describe the differences between NSR and SR device studies.
- Explain how to navigate the submission process for IRB review of device protocols.
