Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
CONT

PenAdapt [trademark] is an aspiration sheath that fits over an electrosurgical pencil body and leaves the tip or blade exposed. This device is considered an accessory to an electrosurgical unit (ESU). Use to remove smoke, particles, body fluid and casual fluids from the point of surgical activity during surgical procedures that use ESU for cutting and cauterizing. This device is used in conjunction with a suction (vacuum) source.

CONT

A partial or radical synovectomy can be carried out arthroscopically using a shaver less than 3 mm in diameter and a thermocouple probe system or a small suction punch device. Care should be exercised when using the shaver or a punch to avoid iatrogenic compromise of the capsular ligaments themselves. Because of the small diameter of the shaver, the suction sheath frequently becomes clogged with debrided tissue. This requires frequent cleaning, which may frustrate some surgeons.

CONT

3.5mm VAPR Suction Sheath. Procedure: Fluid/Tissue Management Systems. Category: Soft Tissue Repair/Arthroscopy. Family: VAPR® Radiofrequency System. [Accompanied by an illustration.]

Subject field(s)

CONT

Standard operating system auditing may be deficient in meeting TCSEC requirements for auditing. Generally, auditing implemented on commercial OS's such as UNIX are intended primarily for accounting purposes and will provide insufficient focus and detail for security purposes. It may be impossible to audit object access or failed system resource access attempts(such as failed login attempts), and the auditing mechanism itself may not be sufficiently protected to prevent compromise.

This level of security is suggested for areas containing high-value monetary and intrinsic resources, the compromise or loss of which would have a short-term effect on the operation or business. The total security effort for this area should provide a high probability of detection/assessment or prevention of unauthorized penetration or approach to the protected items. The security system should detect any unauthorized penetration of the boundaries of the protected area that could result in removal of or damage to sensitive items within the protected area.
