Reference safety information (RSI)

    In Safety & pharmacovigilance

    Reference safety information is the specific, clearly identified section of a document — usually the investigator's brochure — used to decide whether a reaction is expected. It must be a defined list, not the whole document, and it is approved and version-controlled. Using the wrong version can turn a correctly handled case into a reporting failure.
