Attention is drawn to the definitions of groups of chemical elements following the title of section . Attention is drawn to the notes in class , for example the notes following the title of the subclass , setting forth the rules for classifying organic compounds in that class, which rules are also applicable, if not otherwise indicated, to the classification of organic compounds in . In this subclass, with the exception of group , in the absence of an indication to the contrary, classification is made in the last appropriate place. Therapeutic activity of medicinal preparations is further classified in subclass . DENTAL PREPARATIONS COSMETICS, PERFUMES PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS characterised by form characterised by active ingredients organic active ingredients , , , materials from animals, protozoa, bacteria or viruses materials from algae, fungi lichens or plants inorganic active ingredients , obtained by treating material with wave energy or particle radiation for testing in vivo , radioactive ingredients Vaccines , Carriers Medicinal preparations with genetic material, gene therapy Processes using enzymes or micro-organisms in order to: liberate, separate or purify a pre-existing compound or composition, or to treat textiles or clean solid surfaces of materials are further classified in subclass . DISINFECTION OR STERILISATION OF MATERIALS General methods or apparatus of air of refuse of contact lenses MATERIALS FOR Bandages, dressings or absorbent pads sutures or for ligaturing blood vessels liquid bandages prostheses or for coating prostheses colostomy devices catheters or for coating catheters other surgical articles SURGICAL ADHESIVES OR CEMENTS; ADHESIVES FOR COLOSTOMY DEVICES ANTITHROMBOGENIC TREATMENT OF SURGICAL ARTICLES 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. In this subclass, group , which relates to the application of radioactive material to the body, takes precedence over other groups. When classifying in this subclass, classification is also made in group insofar as subject matter of general interest relating to chromatography is concerned. SUCTION OR PUMPING DEVICES SYRINGES; IRRIGATORS; BATHS FOR THE INTESTINES , ; SPRAYERS, ATOMISERS; INSUFFLATORS ; INHALING DEVICES , DEVICES FOR PRODUCING OR ENDING SLEEP OR ANAESTHESIA , , PROBES, CATHETERS; DRAINS; DILATORS , ; ; TUBES, TUBE CONNECTORS, TUBE COUPLINGS, VALVES, ACCESS SITES OR THE LIKE, SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR MEDICAL USE OTHER DEVICES FOR INTRODUCING OR RETAINING REMEDIES IN THE BODY , OTHER DEVICES FOR SPREADING REMEDIES ON THE BODY APPLYING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL TO THE BODY In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated: "therapy" implies that the treatment, when it aims at destroying sick or abnormal cells, is performed within the limits of healthy cell life, the destruction thereof being undesired, contrary to that which takes place with instruments, devices or methods covered by group . ELECTROTHERAPY MAGNETOTHERAPY RADIATION THERAPY ULTRASOUND THERAPY This subclass covers therapeutic activity of chemical compounds or medicinal preparations already classified as such in subclasses or , or in classes , or . In this subclass, the term "drugs" includes chemical compounds or compositions with therapeutic activity. In this subclass, therapeutic activity is classified in all appropriate places. The classification symbols of this subclass are not listed first when assigned to patent documents. This subclass covers the use of cosmetics or similar toilet preparations already classified as such in main group , in subclasses or , or in classes , or . When classifying in this subclass, classification is also made in subclass if the preparation is stated to have therapeutic activity. In this subclass, the use of cosmetics or similar toilet preparations is classified in all appropriate places. The classification symbols of this subclass are not listed first when assigned to patent documents.
