UW IRB Approved Clinical Use HUDs
The Humanitarian Use Devices (HUDs) listed in this table have all been approved by the UW IRB for clinical use at UW Medicine. HSD does its best to keep this table up-to-date, by adding HUDs described in new IRB applications and removing HUDs that later receive full FDA approval (“premarket approval”, or PMA).
There are unique billing and other compliance considerations associated with the use of HUDs. Once approved by HSD, HUD applicants must contact UW Medicine Compliance (206.543.3098; comply@uw.edu) to discuss these aspects.
