I thought TREG is such a good idea for telecom devices, why not one for
medical device regulatory information?
Thus MEDIC, the MEdical Devices Information Consortium ... to subscribe
send "subscribe medic" to majord...@world.std.com. To contribute, members
may send messages to me...@world.std.com.
Info on MEDIC:
Welcome to the home of me...@world.std.com, the Medical
Devices Information Consortium, an established discussion group on
medical devices regulations.
Medical Devices Information Consortium (MEDIC)
==========================================
Charter and Guidelines
10 December 1996
MEDIC is an informal group of people interested in medical device
regulations and standards world-wide, networked electronically by mailing
list. Its purpose is to provide a forum for the sharing of public, but
esoteric or possibly obscure medical device compliance information, or related
information with limited natural distribution. Members need only send
contributions to:
me...@world.std.com
All mail sent to this Internet address will be immediately echoed to
everyone on the MEDIC list by an automated list server.
SUBSCRIBING OR UNSUBSCRIBING - Send an Internet e-mail request
with the phase "subscribe medic" or "unsubscribe medic" in it to:
majord...@world.std.com
DISCLAIMER: MEDIC postings are the sole responsibility of the message
originators. Jon Curtis does not assure the correctness
or viability of any information distributed by the MEDIC list server, nor
accepts any responsibility for the use of any MEDIC distributed information.
MESSAGE CONTENT GUIDELINES:
1. Correspondence should be limited to information or queries relating
to medical device regulations or standards only. Shared information
should not be confidential or in any way proprietary. Please don't
use the MEDIC for simple correspondence - Private correspondence
should be addressed directly, unless it has broad appeal or interest.
2. Blatant or overt advertising of goods or services is not permitted.
The MEDIC list server is provided as a service by Jon Curtis,
whose policies prohibit anything that might be construed as
conflict of interest.
Exceptions:
a) Short, non-promotional "trailers" or signature lines for the sole
purpose of identifying the sender and the sender's organization.
b) Answers to queries about goods or services, where the intent
of the answer is to inform, but not promote. (When in doubt,
send the questioner a private message.)
c) This guideline is specific to the use of the MEDIC list server,
and in no way inhibits individuals from contacting MEDIC
members privately and independently.
3. Posting of medical device job openings is OK so long as they are short
(i.e.,
1 paragraph), non-commercial (no agencies or headhunters - no fees
involved), infrequent (about one out of every 10 messages or less),
and contain an off-MEDIC contact name and phone number or e-mail
address. Same goes for jobs-wanted (if you can fit your resume into
one paragraph!).
4. Using key words in the title or subject line will assist members
who archive the message traffic and may wish to search it later.
Suggested keywords include: CUSTOMIZED or DIAGNOSTIC
or a country name (where the information is country-specific).
5. Queries or requests for information should be focused and brief.
Respondents should be careful about endorsements - When in doubt,
don't.
