Medical and surgical equipment, orthopedic prostheses such as hip and knee joints, as well as many other biomedical products recleaned with CFC-113. In the production of plastic moldings such as syringes, spoons, bottles, and sample phials, CFC-113 may be used as a release agent. CFC-113 is also used as a carrier for ethylene oxide (ETO) in the sterilization of biologically contaminated equipment and supplies. 

In another major area, biomedical products, Du Pont has annual sales of medical diagnostic and therapeutic products of 1 billion. The company is second only to Abbot Laboratories worldwide in clinical diagnostic sales.

As stress chemists are well aware, one of the potential sources of degradative forces on pharmaceutical products is light. Pharmaceutical companies and pharmacists have long known that some biomedical products must be stored in dark bottles. Even bottled soda pop ages faster in the sunlight. 

Recycling is a necessary part of a sustainable society where the needs of future generations must be considered. We are experiencing an increased use of materials in a series of products, e.g. in biomedical products for improving health, in electronic items for industry and fun, and in simple packaging...

In regards to culturing hepatocytes in a 96-well plate format, we have adopted the same conditions that we used when culturing cells in 60-mm dishes and 24-well plates (12) and simply scaled them down to a 96-well plate format. The 96-well plates are precoated with Matrigel and are commercially available (Collaborative Biomedical Products, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.) or, alternatively, normal plates can be coated with diluted Matrigel and dried overnight (27). Hepatocytes cultured on collagen-coated 96-well plates have also been reported to be suitable for CYP induction (28). 

A microfluorimetric or microcolorimetric assay integrated into the rFC assay has allowed high-throughput screens of LPS in multiple samples. Currently, the rFC is used in an LPS-assay to sensitively and specifically detect LPS (Ding and Ho, 2001). The rFC has been incorporated into the PyroGene kit, which was launched in 2004 (Cambrex Inc., USA). Recently, Lonza Inc. (USA) applied rFC in PyroSense, which has potentials for continuous online monitoring of endotoxin in water and other fluids used for large-scale production of biomedical products. 

As far as the subject allows, only the general principles will be outlined which apply to patents in the field of biomedical products, rather than dealing with specific cases (as the interpretation of their patentability changes with time). For practical reasons emphasis will be laid on the patent policies of the European Patent Organization (EPO) and of the USA, since these are most advanced in this field and strongly influence other countries policies. Patents are usually applied first in the USA in in EPO countries, as they represent major markets. Important deviations from the EPO s or USA s policies in other countries will be mentioned and summarized where necessary. Alternatives to patents will also be briefly discussed.

This chapter will provide the reader with an overview of patenting in the pharmaceutical biotechnology industry and summarize some of the key legal and ethical issues related to the patenting of biomedical products and processes. It will examine the legal aspects of patenting before considering the ethical and policy issues. This essay will focus primarily on the U S patent laws, which are very similar to the European patent laws. The essay will note some differences between the US and European laws, and it will mention some relevant international intellectual property treaties.

This chapter provides the reader with fundamentals for addressing HCI design and highlights areas of particular interest to biomedical engineers. Work in HCI is abundant in academic, government, and commercial sectors. This chapter selects fi om this work essential and practical information needed to incorporate (a) human experience considerations into the engineering of biomedical products and... 

The applications discussed above address the interaction between humans and biomedical products that embed or employ computers. However, as HCI technology develops to address new paradigms, new modes of interaction, such as haptic feedback, gestural, and speech interfaces will increasingly involve biomedical factors.
