Hello - we have been working on our Sample Medication policy and associated documentation. Through this we discovered one item that we thought was a medication, is considered a device by the FDA.
1. Do you have a separate policy for sample devices? Or is it included in your sample medication policy?
2. Are sample devices allowed at your institution?
3. What group approves the use of sample devices, if any?
If you have a policy I would be interested to see it.
Thanks!
