Mandatory biological testing of Spictra Cardiotomy Reservoir.

Disposable rigid Spictra Cardiotomy Reservoir is one of the units used in the extracorporeal techniques during open-heart surgery. It was designed, developed, and tested by different groups of our Institute as an indigenous product to offset the prohibitive cost of the imported one. The finished device was subjected to mandatory biological tests, such as pyrogen (in vivo rabbits and in vitro Limulus Amebocyte Lysate test) and sterility tests. It can be concluded from the case study that the device deemed to have passed the test for apyrogenicity and sterility.

Arguments against mandatory screening for HIV in low-prevalence areas.

With heightened awareness that healthcare professionals may be a potential source of infection for the human immunodeficiency virus, calls for serial, mandatory testing and reporting are increasing. Fear and hysteria are particularly noticeable in rural settings, which are only now experiencing marked increases in the incidence of AIDS cases. While arguments for and against the merits of serial mandatory testing programs can be constructed, this paper presents support to oppose mandatory testing. Evidence for this stance is drawn from several sources, including epidemiologic, economic, and clinical research; as well as medical ethics literature.
