Effectiveness criteria

In applications where an insulating liner is unavoidable, effective criteria for avoiding propagating brush discharges are formulated in terms of the surface charge density Cyand thickness of the insulating layer d[ayer (Heidelberg, 1970) ... 

More information is needed in several areas in order to establish effective criteria for the protection of sensitive species of fish and wildlife against paraquat. These include ... 

Continued but decreasing number of small molecules, which, in order to gain a place in Clinical usage, will have to satisfy increasingly stringent cost-effectiveness criteria.

Tools should be developed to support the identification of mixture exposure situations that may cause unexpectedly high risks compared to the standard null models of concentration addition and response addition, for example, based on an analysis of food consumption and behavioral patterns, and the occurrence of common mixture combinations that cause synergistic effects. Criteria should be developed for the inclusion of interaction data in mixture assessments.

The testing conducted on biomaterials intended for use in medical devices must address safety and effectiveness criteria that depend on the intended use as described above as discussed in depth the literature (18, 19). The specific tests required vary with the type of device and application however, some general testing is usually recommended. Normally, animal testing is conducted to demonstrate that a medical device is safe, and when implanted in humans that the device will reduce, alleviate, or eliminate the possibility of adverse medical reactions or conditions (17). 

SELECTION OF FRACTION-SPECIFIC HEALTH EFFECTS CRITERIA... 

Other agencies have addressed the problem of selection of health effects criteria for fractions or representative constituents of TPH (ASTM 1995 Hutcheson et al. 1996 TPHCWG 1997c), and their approaches were carefully evaluated during the preparation of this profile, as discussed in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. Nevertheless, ATSDR s concerns and mandate encompass a broader range of exposure periods than those of the other agencies, and ATSDR health criteria are developed somewhat differently and for a slightly different purpose. These issues were discussed in Section 6.1 and 6.2.
