such as body contact, duration of contact, the mechanism of each device,
its intended use, single and/or multiple use, benefits and any
side/adverse/toxicological effects to the patient, and how to avoid user
error, and authored by clinicians, researchers and educators who are
experienced in medical device use, regulation and research, the content

device companies.
