Meetings/hospitality

Companies must not provide hospitality to members of the health professions and appropriate administrative staff except in association with scientific meetings, promotional meetings, scientific congresses and other such meetings. Hospitality must be secondary to the purpose of the meeting. The level of hospitality offered must be appropriate and not out of proportion to the occasion. The costs involved must not exceed that level which the recipients would normally adopt when pa)dng for themselves. It must not extend beyond members of the health professions or appropriate administrative staff.

Diesels are used in many industrial applications (for example, for base-load generation in mines, cement plants and in remote regions of the world). In addition, they are often utilized to provide standby power for hospitals, telecommunications, banks, computer centers and office complexes that must have full independent power capability. The diesel can be started rapidly, making it ideal for peak lopping duties to meet maximum load demands, or for emergency use in cases of power supply interruptions.

Thus, evaluation will usually be carried out at field sites/(i-sites (hospitals) or, at a minimum, under simulated use conditions. In the case of high-risk devices this will normally involve actual clinical studies. Validation should be performed using initial production lots of the device or their equivalents.
