USE OF RADIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS

Clinical Regulatory Compliance Subcommittee of the RADRAC

The Clinical Regulatory Compliance Subcommittee of the Radioactive Drug Research Advisory Committee (RADRAC) is focused on assuring patient and staff safety for all clinical uses of radioactive materials. A key element of the Subcommittee's role is to monitor the compliance with applicable regulations in those areas of the Hospitals providing clinical care. Although the primary focus of the Subcommittee is the maintenance of the clinical safety and regulatory compliance, this necessarily overlaps with some types of clinical research as the two are often provided simultaneously and the same staff may be involved in both activities. The Subcommittee will specifically focus on: a) staff knowledge of safety procedures and regulatory requirements; b) adequacy of staff training; and c) appropriateness and completeness of record keeping.
