Institutional Device Review Committee
We review investigational devices and approved devices provided by sponsors for use in clinical research studies.
The Investigational Device Review Committee is a committee charged with reviewing devices involving human subjects to protect the rights and welfare of those subjects and to insure that all federal, state and local regulations as well as policies and procedures are followed.
The Investigational Device Review Committee is composed of core members with rotating subject matter experts (i.e., composition of committee would be determined by department proposing to use the device, the department where the device would be stored and or utilized).
The Investigational Device Review Committee has the authority to release or require modifications (to secure approval), for research. The Investigational Device Review Committee also serves as a resource for researchers by providing advice and guidance on identification and regulatory issues related to use of devices in human subject research.
