If the individual is incapable of making an informed decision, as defined in § 54.1-2982 of the Code of Virginia, at the time consent is required, written consent must be provided by the individual's legally authorized representative and witnessed.

Developing an informed consent form is as easy as writing your text, placing it in a document, and sending it out for e-signature from your participants. Digital signatures are secure, convenient, and easy to track, so you can make sure that your trial or treatment program is compliant and your patients are informed.

Considerations in preparing the informed consent document: Elements of consent present. Complete explanations. Lay language. Protection of confidentiality. No unproven claims of effectiveness. Device studies include a statement that the study includes an evaluation of the safety of the test article.

If you prefer to write your own consent document, you may do so, but be sure to include all required elements of informed consent.
