Synthetic single-use products, artificial joint replacements, pacemaker technologies or minimal-invasive procedures result in a high standard of medical care. But despite of the huge progress in this field, we are presumably only at the beginning of a medical technology revolution. The 1st version of the German Medizinproduktegesetz (MPG, Medical Devices Act) came into effect on January 1, 1995. It represents the national implementation of the European directives 90\/385\/EEC for active implantable medical device, 93\/42\/EEC for medical devices and 98\/79\/EEC for in vitro diagnostic devices. With the implementation of this act in the EU internal market, the free movement of medical devices was established. Medical devices that are marketable in one member state of the EU are also marketable in the other EU countries. Manufacturers of medical devices can therefore place their products on the whole EU market. The CE-mark on the products is the proof of complying with the essential requirements. The Medical Devices Act guarantees the efficacy and safety of the medical device because the product has to undergo comprehensive control procedures during the design and manufacturing process. The CE-mark is a cachet for quality and efficacy. After the market access, the authorities take care of the safety for users and consumers via definition of essential requirements. This book presents the major aspects of the Medical Devices Act and the European directives. Moreover, the responsibilities and duties of a medical device manufacturer are explained as well as the product classifications and what the manufacturer has to keep in mind when designing and producing medical devices that comply with the legal requirements. A lot of physicians implant medical devices without being aware of the highly complex registration landscape.

Eye injuries in war are among the most debilitating and complex wounds sustained by combatants and civilians in conflict zones. These injuries, often caused by explosions, shrapnel, projectile wounds, and chemical agents, can result in permanent vision loss, psychological trauma, and long-term disabilities. Addressing these issues requires a multidisciplinary approach involving prevention, advanced medical care, and rehabilitation which are explored in detail throughout the book.   Eye Injuries in War highlights the unique set of challenges and often life-altering consequences for individuals with eye injuries in warzones. While advancements in prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation have significantly improved outcomes, the increasing complexity of modern warfare continues to pose new risks. This book explores these potential risks and the importance of investing in research, developing protective technologies, and ensuring access to specialized care in the future. Ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians involved in the treatment of war trauma will find this book to be a useful tool for mitigating the impact of devastating eye injuries in combat and improving the quality of life for survivors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53265044701457,"sku":"NGR9783032110084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783032110084.jpg?v=1773914665"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-sibylle-scholtz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
