Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the vendor's papers, list what audio or text the product takes, who can retrieve it, how long it is kept, and whether the vendor is described as a business associate. Do not classify the product as a device.
- What the lawyer must review
- You decide whether the product may be used. 45 CFR § 164.502 bars a use or disclosure of protected health information that the subpart does not permit. The HHS breach page, describing 45 CFR §§ 164.400 to 164.414, requires notice to individuals without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery of a breach of unsecured protected health information, and media notice when more than 500 residents of a State or jurisdiction are affected. A business associate notifies the covered entity. The Food and Drug Administration page that was requested did not load, so this check does not classify the product as a medical device. Formal Opinion 512 applies to information relating to a representation that the product would receive.
