Laws and sections by number or title, due dates, pages, and updates.
User institutions apply amended technical specifications and cost estimations for specific medical equipment during procurement processes. The Technical Specification Committee modifies parameters for ultrasound machines, C-arm image intensifiers, digital radiography systems, and ENT operating microscopes. All institutions refer to these revised details when preparing technical requirements and processing purchase proposals. All other instructions from the original circular remain unchanged.
