Adverse Event Wheel

 
Quantity:

The Adverse Event Wheel is a convenient 'dictionary' of adverse event definitions for medical device studies. The definitions are taken from 21 CFR Part 812, ISO/DIS 14155 Clinical Investigations for Human Subjects--Good Clinical Trials (2008), and ISO 14155 (2003); and is suitable for both investigational sites and clinical trial sponsors.

When an event occurs, you spin the wheel until it lands on the set of characteristics that fit the event (subject or caregiver, device-related or not, serious or not, unanticipated or not, unreasonable risk or not). The universal definitions are given on the back of the wheel, along with instructions to report as described in the protocol.

This pocket-sized (4.25"), laminated wheel is a useful way to quickly categorize adverse events. $15.00 US. Click here for more information, or view the demo.

CRA Handbook
CRA Handbook 2011 Paper Edition
Quantity:

Stark NJ, CRA Handbook, 2011 Edition, Clinical Device Group Inc, Chicago, IL (2011).

People tell us their old handbooks are full of 'stickies', margin notes, highlights, and folded corners as they mark the paragraphs important to them.

The 2011 version was updated for consistency with the international standard ISO 14155 "Clinical Investigations of Medical Devices in Human Subjects—Good Clinical Practices," Part 809 was added in recognition of the increasing importance of in vitro diagnostic products, and a list of the diverse and often difficult-to-find horizontal FDA standards relating to device trials was added, for a total of 16 chapters. Many people want a paper copy for their briefcase and an electronic copy for their laptop.

The paper edition is comb-bound, compact, lies flat for easy reading, and lends itself to field notes, 220 pages, 15 figures and tables. ISBN 1-889160-24-4. Table of Contents. $50 US.
