...that it had been used without adequate testing and without DeBakey's knowledge or permission. The National Heart Institute has asked DeBakey and Cooley if federal funds were used in the development of the device. If so, said Dr. Theodore Cooper, NHI's director, its use was subject to federal guidelines covering human experimentation. He explained that these guidelines stipulate that "if experiments are going to be carried out on man, every effort must be made to ensure that the experiment is safely conceived, that the procedure is done with the informed consent of the patient, and that...
