== Purpose ==
== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Appropriate Use of Human Anatomical Material Policy is (1) to establish guidelines to account for all human anatomical material from deceased individuals during initial procurement and use through final disposition; (2) to ensure that use of human anatomical material meets [http://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=71-4825 Uniform Anatomical Gift Act], [http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/bloodbornepathogens/standards.html OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard], and other state and federal regulatory standards for the safe and ethical treatment of human anatomical material; (3) to ensure proper handling of human anatomical material; and (4) to protect individuals handling or transporting human anatomical material/specimens from potential exposure to blood and/or body fluids. The [mailto:mailto:sarah.glodencarlson@unmc.edu Compliance Officer] of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) shall be responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with this policy.

# Faculty, researchers and staff who need human anatomical material for educational or research purposes shall obtain it from a UNMC Nebraska State Anatomical Board Representative or iEXCEL<sup>SM</sup> Manager, Advanced Simulation Operations. Other methods for obtaining anatomical material are strictly prohibited.
# Faculty, researchers and staff who need human anatomical material for educational or research purposes shall obtain it from a UNMC Nebraska State Anatomical Board Representative or iEXCEL<sup>SM</sup> Advanced Surgical Simulation Supervisor. Other methods for obtaining anatomical material are strictly prohibited.
# Any research involving the use of human anatomical material from a living individual requires IRB approval (i.e. amputation, or some post-mortem uses when consent is obtained while the research subject is living). Refer to the [https://net.unmc.edu/rss/ UNMC Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research Studies]and UNMC Policy No. 8013, [[Human Tissue Use and Transfer]]. Research on cadavers does not require IRB approval. The IRB, however, does serve as the privacy board for the institution in the event that the researcher would receive protected health information (HIPAA) about the deceased. Contact the Office of Regulatory Affairs for guidance on how to proceed.

# Requests for human anatomical material will be made to the Nebraska State Anatomical Board. If a requested human anatomical material or human body segment cannot be supplied by the Nebraska Anatomical Board, a UNMC Nebraska State Anatomical Board Representative or iEXCEL Manager, Advanced Simulation Operations shall assist in obtaining anatomical material from a source approved by the UNMC Nebraska Anatomical Board Representative. A copy of an approved request signed by a UNMC Nebraska State Anatomical Board Representative or iEXCEL Manager, Advanced Simulation Operations must accompany any requested human anatomical material.

# All human anatomical material shall be identified by the decedent identification number of origin. Identification tags should not be removed, unless temporary removal is necessary to conduct the test/procedure on the material. If identification tags are temporarily removed, the user shall establish another mechanism to account for the material (i.e. the container in which the material is maintained contains the identifier). The identification numbers shall be reaffixed to the material after the test or procedure is complete. If the recipient further subdivides human anatomical material, identification of parts must be maintained. Additional identification tags are available through the Nebraska Anatomical Board or iEXCEL.
