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.

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.

sage-femme; sagefemme : Dans l'usage contemporain, ces désignations font référence à un titre de profession et, par conséquent, elles peuvent s'appliquer tant aux hommes qu'aux femmes.

OBS

sage-femme; sagefemme; homme sage-femme; homme sagefemme : Pour expliciter le fait qu'une personne de genre masculin exerce la profession de sage-femme, on peut utiliser la désignation «homme sage-femme» («homme sagefemme») ou un déterminant masculin «un sage-femme» («un sagefemme»).

OBS

sage-homme; sagehomme : Les désignations «sage-homme» et «sagehomme» ont été proposées par l'Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF); selon l'OQLF, la désignation «sage-femme» réfère à une «femme sage», c'est-à-dire une personne qui possède le savoir nécessaire pour offrir des soins aux femmes enceintes, ce qui justifie le remplacement de l'élément «femme» par «homme». Toutefois, ces désignations n'ont pas été adoptées par les professionnels pratiquant le métier de sage-femme. En effet, ces derniers considèrent que l'élément «femme» du terme «sage-femme» renvoie à la personne qui accouche et non à la personne qui exerce la profession ainsi désignée.

OBS

maïeuticien; maïeuticienne : désignations proposées par l'Académie française dans les années 1980, qui ne sont pas entrées dans l'usage.

OBS

parturologue : Dans un contexte d'écriture inclusive, où il est nécessaire d'éviter toute allusion au sexe ou au genre, on pourrait utiliser la désignation «parturologue». Par contre, comme cette désignation est rare, il sera essentiel de la définir.
