[ RadSafe ] FDA approval of bioassay methods

[Edward Tupin]

Another interpretation is that routine bioassay measurements are made
to:

1. Verify adequacy of engineering and work practice controls.

2. Show compliance with regulatory requirements.

When the detected intake is large enough that some action, such
administration of decorporation (chelating) agents is considered,
bioassay would then move into the realm of a diagnostic medical
procedure.
