    Keyword Index to Assist Manufacturers in Verifying the Class of Medical Devices

    September 12, 2006 NOTICE Our file number: 06-120629-368 Re: Keyword Index to Assist Manufacturers in Verifying the Class of Medical Devices Health Canada is pleased to announce the release of the revised Keyword Index to Assist Manufacturers in Verifying the Class of Medical Devices. This guidance document supersedes the January 14, 2000 version of the same document. The Keyword Index to Assist Manufacturers in Verifying the Class of Medical Devices is intended to assist manufacturers in confirming the classification of medical device products after application of the Classification Rules for Medical Devices set out in Schedule 1 of the Medical Devices Regulations. This guidance document has been revised to reflect changes to the risk- based classification of particular medical device groups. Specifically, the following major changes have been made to the document: • the reclassification of specific medical device groups; • the removal of redundant information; • the addition of medical device groups; and • the omission of product groups that do not fit the meaning of a medical device as defined in the Food and Drugs Act. To search for a medical device group within the Keyword Index to Assist Manufacturers in Verifying the Class of Medical Devices PDF file, go to Edit/Find and enter a keyword, preferred name code or description in the “Find” field. For instance, to verify the risk-based classification of dental burs, enter “bur” or “drill” in the “Find” field. Please note that this guidance document is provided only as a guide and that in the event of any discrepancy between this document and the Classification Rules for Medical Devices described in the Medical Devices Regulations, the latter shall prevail.

    Biodegradable Surgical Staple Composed of Magnesium Alloy

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biodegradable Surgical Staple Composed of Magnesium Alloy Hizuru Amano 1, Kotaro Hanada2, Akinari Hinoki3, Takahisa Tainaka3, Chiyoe Shirota3, Wataru Sumida3, Kazuki Yokota3, Naruhiko Murase3, Kazuo Oshima3, Kosuke Chiba3, 3 3 Received: 11 February 2019 Yujiro Tanaka & Hiroo Uchida Accepted: 25 September 2019 Currently, surgical staples are composed of non–biodegradable titanium (Ti) that can cause allergic Published: xx xx xxxx reactions and interfere with imaging. This paper proposes a novel biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloy staple and discusses analyses conducted to evaluate its safety and feasibility. Specifcally, fnite element analysis revealed that the proposed staple has a suitable stress distribution while stapling and maintaining closure. Further, an immersion test using artifcial intestinal juice produced satisfactory biodegradable behavior, mechanical durability, and biocompatibility in vitro. Hydrogen resulting from rapid corrosion of Mg was observed in small quantities only in the frst week of immersion, and most staples maintained their shapes until at least the fourth week. Further, the tensile force was maintained for more than a week and was reduced to approximately one-half by the fourth week. In addition, the Mg concentration of the intestinal artifcial juice was at a low cytotoxic level. In porcine intestinal anastomoses, the Mg alloy staples caused neither technical failure nor such complications as anastomotic leakage, hematoma, or adhesion. No necrosis or serious infammation reaction was histopathologically recognized. Thus, the proposed Mg alloy staple ofers a promising alternative to Ti alloy staples. Intestinal anastomosis using staples is widely practiced in surgery nowadays1–4. Staples used for this procedure are primarily composed of non–biodegradable titanium (Ti) alloy.

Cello, MD1 and Stanley J. Rogers, MD1 The gastroenterologist, whether in academic or clinical practice, must face the reality that an increasingly large percentage of adult patients are morbidly obese. Morbid obesity is associated with significant morbidity and mortality including enhanced morbidity from cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, hepatobiliary and colonic diseases. Most of these associated diseases are actually preventable. Based on the 1991 NIH consensus conference criteria, for most patients with a body mass index (BMI ¼ weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared) of 40 or more, or for patients with a BMI of 35 or more and significant health complications, surgery may be the only reliable option. Currently in the United States, over 250,000 bariatric surgical procedures are being performed annually. The practicing gastroenterologist in every community, large and small, must be familiar with the various surgical procedures together with their associated anatomic changes.
