Ear, nose, and throat devices 8. Gastroenterology and urology devices 9. General and plastic surgery devices 10. General hospital and personal use devices 11. Neurological devices 12. Obstetrical and gynecological devices 13. Ophthalmic devices 14. Orthopedic devices 15. Physical medicine devices 16. Radiology devices Article 3 Medical devices are classified into the following classes according to their risk level: 1. Class I: Low risk 2. Class II: Medium risk 3. Class III: High risk 1 Article 4 Product items of the medical device classification are specified in the Annex. In addition to rules stated in the Annex, medical devices whose function, intended use, or working principle are special may have their classification determined according to the following rules: 1. If two or more categories, classes, or product items are applicable to the same medical device, the highest class of risk level is assigned. 2. The accessory to a medical device, intended specifically by the manufacturer for use with a particular medical device, is classified the same as the particular medical device, unless otherwise specified in the Annex. 3. The classification of a combined product, which contains two or more medical devices packaged together while having two or more categories, classes, or product items applicable, is assigned the highest class of risk level among these devices. 4. A medical device containing medicine while having the primary mode of action of a medical device is determined to be a Class III medical device, unless otherwise specified in the Annex. Article 5 Medical device firms or the public may make an inquiry to the central competent authority regarding classification of medical devices or other relevant matters. Inquirers of the preceding paragraph shall fill out an inquiry form, provide the following related documents and information, and pay the required fees for submission to the central competent authority: 1. Instructions for use of the manufacturer: including operating instructions, function, and working principle. If they are not in the traditional Chinese or English version, a translation copy in traditional Chinese or English shall be provided separately. 2. Other reference information: Reference information from the United States of America, European Union, or other countries on the classification of the inquired product. If such reference information is not available, it is not required to be provided. In addition to the above documents and information, when necessary, the central competent authority may request the inquirer to provide other relevant documents and information. 2 Article 6 If the function, intended use, or working principle of the medical device does not meet identification criteria of the product items listed in the Annex, its classification shall be determined to be a Class III medical device. However, if a similar product has received license or been listed domestically, its classification shall be determined according to the risk level of the similar product, or if a classification inquiry has been made to the central competent authority in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, it shall be determined according to the risk level as responded by the central competent authority. Article 7 These Regulations shall enter into force from the effective date of this Act. 3 Annex Classification Classification Name Class Identification Number A.0001 Phencyclidine test system 2 Phencyclidine test system is a device to measure the concentration of Phencyclidine (an anesthetic agent) or Phencyclidine analog in blood, urine, or/and stomach contents. This device is to monitor the concentration of Phencyclidine or Phencyclidine analog in diseases treatment or diagnosis. A.0002 Clinical Chemistry Electrolyte System 1 Clinical chemistry electrolyte system is intended to perform a specific function in an assay that is used for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of electrolytes and other ions in a clinical specimen. A.1020 Acid phosphatase (total or prostatic) test 2 An acid phosphatase (total or prostatic) test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the acid system phosphatase enzyme in plasma and serum. A.1025 Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) 2 An adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) test system is a device intended to measure adrenocorticotropic hormone test system in plasma and serum. ACTH measurements are used in the differential diagnosis and treatment of certain disorders of the adrenal glands such as Cushing's syndrome, adrenocortical insufficiency, and the ectopic ACTH syndrome. A.1030 Alanine amino transferase (ALT/SGPT) 1 An alanine amino transferase (ALT/SGPT) test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme test system alanine amino transferase (ALT) (also known as a serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase or SGPT) in serum and plasma. Alanine amino transferase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of certain liver diseases (e.g., viral hepatitis and cirrhosis) and heart diseases. A.1035 Albumin test system 2 An albumin test system is a device intended to measure the albumin concentration in serum and plasma. Albumin measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous diseases involving primarily the liver or kidneys. A.1040 Aldolase test system 1 An aldolase test system is a device intended to measure the activity of the enzyme aldolase in serum or plasma. Aldolase measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of the early stages of acute hepatitis and for certain muscle diseases such as progressive Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy.

The sixtant in the 1960s (2) was the first mass-produced article of the Braun design era to be brought onto the market. Since the 1970s, shavers have represented the company’s core business. The success of this division is due among other 3 reasons to the continuous sequence of innovations that Braun has introduced. A good example of this is shaving head optimization: in 1990, Braun intro- duced the Flex control (3), the first shaver on the market with two shaving foils and a pivoting head. The Flex integral in 1994 (4) featured an integrated hair trimmer to help shave longer hairs or hairs that grew sideways.

  • A Distant Gene Deletion Affects Beta-Globin Gene Function in an Atypical Gamma Delta Beta-Thalassemia
    A distant gene deletion affects beta-globin gene function in an atypical gamma delta beta-thalassemia. P Curtin, … , A D Stephens, H Lehmann J Clin Invest. 1985;76(4):1554-1558. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI112136. Research Article We describe an English family with an atypical gamma delta beta-thalassemia syndrome. Heterozygosity results in a beta-thalassemia phenotype with normal hemoglobin A2. However, unlike previously described cases, no history of neonatal hemolytic anemia requiring blood transfusion was obtained. Gene mapping showed a deletion that extended from the third exon of the G gamma-globin gene upstream for approximately 100 kilobases (kb). The A gamma-globin, psi beta-, delta-, and beta-globin genes in cis remained intact. The malfunction of the beta-globin gene on a chromosome in which the deletion is located 25 kb away suggests that chromatin structure and conformation are important for globin gene expression.
