However, if you or a nearby hospital have facilities for sterilization by gas or irradiation, you could probably save the cost of spoiling an entire new kit to get one capsule by re-using the one that fell out (assuming it's unbroken). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Paul, Minnesota "Nobody in football is a genius.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
