Complete Description of Animal Use. 1. Protocol #15-20 and Protocol #15-12 that were reviewed during the inspection did not contain a complete description of the proposed animal use. These two protocols that had been approved by the IACUC were missing details pertaining to surgical procedures and/or missing details pertaining to the monitoring parameters for the animals post procedure. Per this Section of the Regulations, proposals to conduct an activity involving animals must contain a complete description of the proposed use of the animals so the IACUC can determine that the components of the proposed activities related to the care and use of animals are in accordance with all of the requirements outlined in this subchapter. The IACUC needs to address this deficiency that was identified for these two protocols. NOTE - Exit interview held 2/17/16 on-site with facility representatives.
