Guidance development process

How we develop NICE medical technologies guidance

If a technology is recommended for use, the specific recommendations are not intended to limit use of other relevant technologies that may offer similar advantages. If the technology is recommended for use in research, the recommendations are not intended to preclude the use of the technology but to identify further evidence which, after evaluation, could support a recommendation for wider adoption.

This guidance replaces NICE’s medtech innovation briefing on Magtrace and Sentimag for locating sentinel lymph nodes (MIB263).
