Graham I hope you got that in writing.
I bet the MDRA will not remember the call.
I've seen some very dodgy tattoo equipment in the past and make sure it's still fit for the purpose.
For insurance purposes of course, surgeons sue to.
I would also like to ask where in the hospital this device is being used ?, not theatres!

So following that lasers for removing crows feet on skin surrounding the eyes might not come under MDRA recommendations.
Sorry about this statement.

The reply from the MHRA came by e-mail so if you'd like to see a copy send me your e-mail address and I'll forward a copy (graham.r.barnes@york.nhs.uk)

Since the tattooing procedure causes the needle to pierce the skin and produce some bleeding from the site, this would have been classed as an invasive procedure. Coupled with the fact that blood is a good conductor of Electricity and the tatoos are in this case directly across the patients chest a minimum requirement for the equipment should be BF?
