This section says that findings, conclusions, or summaries from medical studies covered by this part cannot be used or shared in any legal case. Information given to a research or study committee also cannot be used in court unless it cannot be gotten from the original source. If that happens, a judge reviews the committee's materials privately and only releases factual information.
