Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article sets out the results of a survey that was undertaken to determine if the processes of Institutional Ethics Committees were able to determine whether safe medical devices were being approved for use. Many IECs indicated they lacked technical expertise to consider many of the devices. This article discusses the legal and procedural implications of these findings, together with recommendations for reform.
