Article R4127-226 of the French Public Health Code

Prematurely disclosing to the medical and dental public with a view to immediate application a new diagnostic or treatment procedure that has not been sufficiently tested constitutes reprehensible imprudence on the part of the practitioner if he has not taken care to warn the public of the possible dangers of the procedure.

Disclosing this same procedure to the general public when its value and harmlessness have not been demonstrated constitutes misconduct.

It is a serious offence to deceive the good faith of practitioners or their patients by presenting to them as beneficial and harmless a procedure that has not been sufficiently tested.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4127-226

Divulguer prématurément dans le public médical et dentaire en vue d’une application immédiate un procédé de diagnostic ou de traitement nouveau insuffisamment éprouvé constitue de la part du praticien une imprudence répréhensible s’il n’a pas pris le soin de mettre ce public en garde contre les dangers éventuels du procédé.

Divulguer ce même procédé dans le grand public quand sa valeur et son innocuité ne sont pas démontrées constitue une faute.

Tromper la bonne foi des praticiens ou de leurs patients en leur présentant comme salutaire et sans danger un procédé insuffisamment éprouvé est une faute grave.
