Surveillance Classification

The patient assessment, monitoring, and surveillance classification includes items such as follows [4] ... 

As a first step in the direction outlined here some manufacturers and BAM last year discussed the problems and the possible procedures of such a system of quality assurance. As a result of this meeting round robin tests for the harmonization of the measurements of film system parameters and a possible procedure of surveillance of the quality of film systems were proposed. Closely related to these the BAM offers to perform the classification of film systems. But as during the production of films variations of the properties of the different batches cannot be avoided, the results of measurements of films of a single batch will be restricted to this charge, while only the measurements and mean of several batches of a film type will give representative values of its properties. This fact is taken into account already in section 4 of the standard EN 584-1 which can be interpreted as a kind of continuous surveillance. In accordance with this standard a film system caimot be certified on the base of measurements of a single emulsion only. 

In case of mixed systems the procedure must be varied and it would be restricted to the special film systems of interest, of course. Mixed systems would be used by inspection companies and industrial users who normally do not dispose of the equipment for measurements as mentioned above. In these cases instead of a round robin test only periodical measurements of the properties of these mixed film systems by an independent third party institution can be used for film classification and continuous surveillance.

The incidence of surgical site infections traditionally has been stratified by the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (NNIS) system. Participating hospitals are categorized by size and medical school affiliation. Surgical site wounds are classified by the degree of microbial contamination at the operative site. The classification scheme is as follows [1,3] ...

This section presents a derivation of the HCF TSRs. Because of the hazard classification of the HCF (i.e., HC-2) and the results of the accident analysis, no safety-class structures, systems, or components (SSCs) have been identified. That is, there are no SSCs vt/hich are needed to maintain off-site consequences within the 25 rem off-site Evaluation Guideline. Therefore, the TSRs consist of Limiting Conditions for Operation, Surveillance Requirements, and Administrative Controls as shown in Table 5.3-1.
