A 61 KPREPARATIONS FOR MEDICAL, DENTAL, OR TOILET PURPOSES (bringing into special physical form A61J; chemical aspects of, or use of materials for deodorisation of air, for disinfection or sterilisation, or for bandages, dressings, absorbent pads or surgical articles A61L; compounds per se C01, C07, C08, C12N; soap compositions C11D; micro-organisms per se C12N)


Notes

(1)This subclass covers the following subject matter, whether set forth as a composition (mixture), process of preparing the composition or process of treating using the composition:

 (a)Drug or other biological compositions which are capable of:

 –preventing, alleviating, treating or curing abnormal or pathological conditions of the living body by such means as destroying a parasitic organism, or limiting the effect of the disease or abnormality by chemically altering the physiology of the host or parasite (biocides A01N 25/00 to A01N 65/00);

 –maintaining, increasing, decreasing, limiting, or destroying a physiological body function, e.g. vitamin compositions, sex sterilants, fertility inhibitors, growth promotors, or the like (sex sterilants for invertebrates, e.g. insects, A01N; plant growth regulators A01N 25/00 to A01N 65/00); [1,7]

 –diagnosing a physiological condition or state by an in vivo test, e.g. X-ray contrast or skin patch test compositions (measuring or testing processes involving enzymes or micro-organisms C12Q; in vitro testing of biological material, e.g. blood, urine, G01N, e.g. G01N 33/48);

 (b)Body treating compositions generally intended for deodorising, protecting, adorning or grooming a body, e.g. cosmetics, dentifrices, tooth filling materials.

(2)Attention is drawn to the definitions of groups of chemical elements following the title of section C.

(3)In this subclass, in the absence of an indication to the contrary, classification is made in the last appropriate place.

(4)Therapeutic activity of medicinal preparations is further classified in subclass A61P. [7]

Notes

(1)In groups A61K 31/00 to A61K 47/00, it is desirable to add the indexing codes relating to individual components of a composition. The indexing codes, which are chosen from the said groups, with the exception of groups A61K 38/54 and A61K 47/44, have the same numbers as the classification symbols, but a colon is used instead of the oblique stroke, and should be linked.  [5]

(2)Attention is drawn to Chapter IV of the Guide which sets forth the rules concerning the application and presentation of the different types of indexing code.  [6]
