IRB.</p> <p>The FDA's <a href="http://www.fda.gov/downloads/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/UCM126418.pdf" target="_blank">"Significant Risk and Nonsignificant Risk Medical Device Studies" Information Sheet</a> provides criteria for the investigator and IRB to use in making these decisions.

The IRB should also be informed if the FDA or any other IRB has determined the device to present SR or NSR, and provide any further information requested by the IRB.</p> <h2><a id="determination" name="determination"></a>Making the Significant vs. Non-significant Risk Determination</h2> <p>The IRB must make two separate decisions, based on different criteria.</p> <p>1. Is the investigation approvable or not? — The criteria for deciding if a study involving either a SR or NSR device can be approved are the same as those used to evaluate any proposed research project.</p> <p>2. Does the device present SR or NSR? — The IRB review criteria and review process are described below.</p> <p><strong>IRB's Criteria for Determining SR vs. NSR</strong></p> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p><a class="accordion">What is the basis for the risk determination?</a></p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>The determination of significant risk depends on the use of the device in the particular study, as well as the inherent risks of the device itself.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p><a class="accordion">What is nature of harm that may result from the use of the device?</a></p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>SR studies are those that present a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a subject. Included among those devices that present SR are devices for which the potential harm to subjects could be life-threatening, could result in permanent impairment of a body function, or permanent damage to body structure, or could necessitate medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to body structure.</p> </div> </div> <div class="collapse-item"> <div aria-expanded="false" class="header-text" role="button" tabindex="0"> <p><a class="accordion">Will the subject need to undergo an additional procedure as part of the investigational study?</a></p> </div> <div aria-hidden="true" class="content-text" role="region" tabindex="-1"> <p>If the subject must undergo a procedure as part of the study, e.g., a surgical procedure to implant the device, the IRB must consider the potential harm caused by the procedure, as well as the potential harm caused by the device.</p> <p>Examples:</p> <ul> <li>A pacemaker that is a modification of a commercially available pacemaker poses SR because the use of any pacemaker presents a potential for serious harm to the subjects. This is true even though the modified pacemaker may pose less risk, or only slightly greater risk, in comparison to the commercially available model. The degree of possibly reduced or increased risk associated with the investigational pacemaker should only be considered (in relation to possible decreased or increased benefits) when assessing the approvability of the study.</li> <li>An extended-wear contact lens is considered SR because wearing the lens continuously for 30 days presents a potential for injuries not normally seen with daily wear lenses, which are considered NSR.</li> </ul> </div> </div> <p><strong>SR vs. NSR Determination</strong></p> <div class="accordian-content"> <ul> </ul> <examples></examples></div> <p>The IRB may agree or disagree with the investigator's or sponsor's initial NSR assessment.
