PowerQuick Powered Ascender (7) PQ500-1 1-Sep-15
Minimal risk
is defined as “the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are not greater in and of themselves
than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical and psychological examinations
or tests” in 32 CFR
219.102(i). The overall risk level is “Less Than Minimal Risk.” This is based in accordance with this definition and regulation on the results of
component testing as discussed in Section 3, inherent safety redundancies in the design, as well the fact that the ascender will not be used in
testing, demonstration or actual use without the use of a secondary fall arrest system.
