Types of facilities
When setting up depots and releasing drug to IRT, you work with these types of facilities:
- Central depot—A central depot supplies other depots. It can also directly supply sites.
- Local depot—A local depot receives supplies from the central depot, and provides supplies to local sites.
Note: To receive supplies from a central depot, the local depot must first be added to the central depot that provides those supplies.
- Drug destruction facility (DDF)—A drug destruction facility (DDF) is a facility where drugs are destroyed (examples: drugs have expired, drugs are damaged, or drugs are left over at the end of a study). A DDF that is also a depot must be set up separately as a DDF (that is, it must be set up (1) as a DDF and (2) as a depot).
- Site—A site is a treatment facility where subjects receive drugs and are monitored during a study.
