In the event of the use of a new technology intended for radiotherapy, radiosurgery, diagnosis or radioguided interventional practices, or of a new type of practice carried out using an existing technology, an order by the Minister for Health, issued after consultation with healthcare professionals and the opinion of the competent bodies, may lay down, on a transitional basis, special provisions for collecting and analysing information concerning the expected benefits for the patient and the associated risks, including for the professionals involved in the care.
This decree sets the duration of the transitional period.
The information is collected and analysed in accordance with recommendations for good professional practice. The information and its analysis are sent to the Haute Autorité de Santé and the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire at their request.
