I had wondered whether that was going to be the source you offered, Mike.
All in all, yet another weak official (UK Government sponsored) document in my opinion. I can honestly say I have seen many better Policies and Procedures developed by in-house biomed departments.
I somehow doubt that those (or the person) drafting Section 3.4 had the securing of mains cables in mind. No doubt the same may be said about manufacturers' "IFUs".
But on a positive note, Section 5.3 is more to my liking.
Lastly, I wonder how many Trusts have appointed a Medical Device Safety Officer (MDSO) (see Section 2.1) ... in fact, it would be very interesting to learn how many Trusts follow these "guidance" documents at all.
