RIN 3150-AI26 Medical Use of Byproduct Material: Amendments/Medical Event
Definitions
I recommend that the wording of 10 CFR 35.40(c)(2) be revised from
“If, because of the patient's condition, a delay in order to provide a written revision
to an existing written directive would jeopardize the patient's health, an oral
revision to an existing written directive is acceptable. The oral revision must be
documented as soon as possible in the patient's record. A revised written
directive must be signed by the authorized user within 48 hours of the oral
revision.”

“If a delay to obtain a written revision to an existing written directive would
jeopardize the patient's health, an oral revision to an existing written directive is
acceptable. The oral revision must be documented as soon as possible in the
patient's record. The authorized user must sign a revised written directive within
48 hours of the oral revision.”
The phrase “because of the patient’s condition” essentially duplicates the meaning
of “jeopardize the patient’s health” and can be eliminated. The last sentence is
changed to active voice.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on these proposed regulations.
