Confidentiality, Boardroom E-1 compliance and prohibitions
Boardroom E-1 operates under rules the merch must respect: no mobile-phone use in the room during committee votes (biosafety protocol), no merch that creates biomedical noise or distraction, no backpacks or large bags in the room (biosafety protocol), no POP material with third-party logos (a frequent request from CROs), no food or beverages outside the hub's cafeteria service. For sessions that require limited-edition merch (numbered anniversary t-shirt of the protocol, book signed by the invited investigator, paperweight marking the year of the clinical trial), we coordinate with the hub's operations area to ensure the piece complies with biosafety protocol, clinical-confidentiality protocol, and transmission protocol (when the session is internal and is not recorded, in compliance with the Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares).
For sessions with media coverage (post-trial press conference, protocol-results presentation, Class III device launch), we comply with the hub's press protocol and Cofepris protocol, with pieces carrying no third-party logos or with digital redaction when the hub's manual requires it. For sessions with internal transmission to the group's hospitals (sessions transmitted to Hospital Ángeles, Star Médica, or Médica Sur), we comply with the hub's transmission protocol with pieces visible on-screen and pieces hidden from transmission. For sessions with live transmission abroad (video call with FDA, EMA, or Health Canada investigators), we comply with time-zone rules and ship pieces to international laboratories two weeks in advance.
For SAT invoicing, we issue CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as R&D, PR, or training expense, depending on how the merch is used. For hubs with IMMEX or US operations, we handle complementary invoicing in USD or EUR with USMCA compliance when the merch crosses the border as part of the hospitality kit. Temperature-sensitive merch is delivered with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international refrigerated transit applies, with the foreign-trade complement when applicable, and with the payment complement when the hub pays in instalments. Delivery to the samples room is documented with an entry slip signed by the hub's operations lead, the committee coordinator, and the biosafety officer.
