4.Collection of data through noninvasive procedures (not involving general anesthesia or
sedation) routinely employed in clinical practice, excluding procedures involving x-rays or
microwaves. Where medical devices are employed, they must be cleared/approved for
marketing. (Studies intended to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the medical device are
not generally eligible for expedited review, including studies of cleared medical devices for new
indications.)
Examples: (a) physical sensors that are applied either to the surface of the body or at a distance
and do not involve input of significant amounts of energy into the subject or an invasion of the
subject=s privacy; (b) weighing or testing sensory acuity; (c) magnetic resonance imaging; (d)
electrocardiography, electroencephalography, thermography, detection of naturally occurring
radioactivity, electroretinography, ultrasound, diagnostic infrared imaging, doppler blood flow,
and echocardiography; (e) moderate exercise, muscular strength testing, body composition
assessment, and flexibility testing where appropriate given the age, weight, and health of the
individual.
YES NO
5.Research involving materials (data, documents, records, or specimens) that have been
collected, or will be collected solely for nonresearch purposes (such as medical treatment or
diagnosis). (NOTE: Some research in this category may be exempt from the HHS regulations
for the protection of human subjects. 45 CFR 46.101(b)(4). This listing refers only to research
that is not exempt.)
YES NO
6.Collection of data from voice, video, digital, or image recordings made for research purposes
YES NO
7.Research on individual or group characteristics or behavior (including, but not limited to,
research on perception, cognition, motivation, identity, language, communication, cultural beliefs
or practices, and social behavior) or research employing survey, interview, oral history, focus
group, program evaluation, human factors evaluation, or quality assurance methodologies.
(NOTE: Some research in this category may be exempt from the HHS regulations for the
protection of human subjects. 45 CFR 46.101(b)(2) and (b)(3). This listing refers only to
research that is not exempt.)
YES NO
8.Continuing review of research previously approved by the convened IRB as follows:
a. where (i) the research is permanently closed to the enrollment of new subjects; (ii) all subjects
have completed all research-related interventions; and (iii) the research remains active only for
long-term follow-up of subjects; or b. where no subjects have been enrolled and no additional
risks have been identified; or c. where the remaining research activities are limited to data
analysis.
YES NO
