Who is their institutional review board?

Their entry at http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/scanadu-scout-the-first-me... says:

> As soon as we enter the clinical studies, the measurements relative to each study are collected to be part of the study data. This happens within the framework of a well defined Institutional Review Board - approved clinical protocol.

The page linked to by this HN post says "...to be a part of the first usability study and then clinical studies for the company’s road to FDA approval."

Since the page says they just wants saliva samples, not usability feedback, that means they are in stage 2 - a clinical study.

But I find nothing about their IRB on their web site or elsewhere.
