The key parameters to control, in order to minimise the device failures due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), are peak ESD current and charge transfer in a direct discharge and device charging by induction and rubbing.
Participants will be fitted with the same Actical at each visit in order to minimise inter-device variability.
Our approach to these fractures has evolved to include direct fracture reduction with distal femoral locking plate minimising inter-device distance with the pre-existing proximal femoral implant, followed by orthogonal plating of the femur along the anterior cortex to span the inter-device distance (Fig. 1).
Manufacturers of interactive medical devices, such as infusion pumps, need to ensure that devices minimise the risk of unintended harm during use.
In order to achieve this, material and production costs have to be minimised by using device architectures, which are suited to tap the full potential of reel-to-reel production.
Second, when sources of glare are minimised, the iPad device can provide measures of distance visual acuity that are indistinguishable from measures made using gold standard letter charts.
Paravalvular and transvalvular regurgitation can also be estimated in real time, allowing appropriate steps to be taken to minimise complications and optimise device positioning [16, 54].
The number of spheres injected during approximately an hour, together with 30 to 40 ml distilled water, was about 50 billion (2.4 GBq) for Pt 1 and 30 billion (1.6 GBq) for Pt 2. The construction of the application device will minimise the risk of microsphere aggregations within the infusate [26]-[28 [26]-[28
We used a single model of supraglottic airway device to minimise confounding factors.
A minimum two-minute interval was left between IOP measurements with each device to minimise the tonographic effects of repeated tonometry measurements [ 13].
