Notes

(1)

 This subclass covers suction, pumping or atomising devices for medical use (e.g. cups, breast relievers, irrigators, sprays, powder insufflators, atomisers, inhalers), apparatus for general or local anaesthetics, devices or methods for causing a change in the state of consciousness, catheters, dilators, apparatus for introducing medicines into the body other than orally.

(2)

 In this subclass, group A 61 M 36/00, which relates to the application of radioactive material to the body, takes precedence over other groups. [5]
