Biologics Compliance Guide for Clinics in Nevada

Learn the essential compliance steps to confidently offer biologics in Nevada. This guide covers state and FDA regulations, patient consent, and best practices to help you establish compliant stem cell therapy services.

1. Summary

This guide provides Nevada-based clinics with a roadmap to offer biologics safely and within regulatory requirements. Covering FDA and state regulations, informed consent, and best practices, this guide will help practitioners achieve compliance while confidently providing stem cell therapies.


2. FDA Compliance

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) under FDA HCT/P Regulations. Practitioners should ensure that all biologic products meet the Title 21 CFR Part 1271 standards for manufacturing, labeling, and use in clinical applications to maintain compliance.


3. Nevada State Regulations

Nevada’s guidelines on biologics align with both federal standards and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services. Practitioners should confirm the types of biologics permitted and any state-specific handling or documentation requirements. Nevada’s framework offers a clear pathway to compliance, making it accessible for clinics looking to offer innovative stem cell therapies within the state.


4. Provider Qualifications

In Nevada, only licensed medical professionals, such as MDs, DOs, and in some cases, APRNs and PAs under supervision, are authorized to administer biologics. To verify qualifications and any additional credential requirements, providers can consult the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners. Meeting these standards ensures both compliance and patient safety.


5. Patient Informed Consent

Compliant consent forms are essential for biologics. In Nevada, clinics must inform patients about potential risks, the experimental nature of certain therapies, and realistic expectations. Consent forms should clearly outline all benefits and risks, encouraging informed decision-making while ensuring legal protection for the clinic.


6. Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment Protocols
Implement standardized protocols to ensure safety and compliance. Nevada practitioners should incorporate pre-treatment screenings and thorough post-treatment follow-up to monitor patient outcomes and manage adverse effects.


7. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Developing comprehensive SOPs for handling, storage, and administration of biologic products is critical. SOPs ensure consistent care and compliance with Nevada’s medical regulations, supporting quality and safety in practice.


8. Medical Liability Insurance
Nevada clinics offering biologics should carry adequate liability insurance, specifically covering procedures involving stem cell and other biologic therapies. Consult with insurance providers about coverage tailored to biologics to ensure full protection.


9. Marketing Compliance

All marketing materials in Nevada must avoid misleading claims and accurately represent the nature and efficacy of biologic treatments. Providers should adhere to FDA advertising regulations and avoid claims of guaranteed outcomes.
