Subject field(s)
  • Medical Instruments and Devices
CONT

A batch request is appropriate when the HCP [health care professional] requires access to the device for anticipated emergency cases where licensed medical devices are unavailable, and where shipping delays would result in adverse patient outcomes. In this case, the HCP must estimate the number of devices that may be required for emergency treatments for one month. The restriction to a one-month supply of devices is intended to provide sufficient quantities for true emergency cases in the short term, bearing in mind that a suitable licensed device may become available in the near future. The SAP [Special Access Program] maintains the ability to use discretion in enforcing this one month restriction.

  • Instruments et appareillages médicaux

Une demande visant un lot d'instruments est appropriée lorsque le PS [professionnel de la santé] doit avoir accès à l'instrument pour être en mesure de répondre à des situations d'urgence prévues où des instruments médicaux homologués ne sont pas disponibles et où les délais d'expédition seraient nuisibles pour les patients. Dans de tels cas, le PS doit estimer le nombre d'instruments dont il pourrait avoir besoin pour des traitements d'urgence pendant un mois. La restriction à une réserve d'instruments d'un mois a pour but d'assurer l'accès à une quantité suffisante pour répondre aux véritables cas d'urgence à court terme, tout en gardant à l'esprit qu'un instrument homologué approprié pourrait devenir disponible dans un avenir rapproché. Le PAS [Programme d'accès spécial] conserve le pouvoir discrétionnaire d'appliquer cette restriction d'un mois.

There are some similarities between dry needling and acupuncture. Both use thin needles inserted at various depths to treat symptoms.

However, there are significant differences between acupuncture and dry needling.... Dry needling is a newer treatment and evolved in the last few decades.

In a physician's office, the circle of care would include : the physician, the nurse, a specialist or other health care provider referred by the physician, and any other health care professional selected by the patient, such as a registered dietitian, pharmacist or physiotherapist. In a hospital, the circle of care would include : the attending physician and the health care team(e. g., residents, nurses, registered dietitians, technicians, clinical clerks and employees assigned to the patient) who have direct responsibilities of providing care to the individual.
