Australia | 6/12/2018 | I'm OK with the proposal. As described in the document, without details of "what is being implanted" these concepts are of limited clinical use. As an aside, It also seems like modelling distinction should be made recognising "insertions into natural cavities" (e.g. << 120133003 |External ear implantation| ) vs other sites... Maybe this is the distinction between "insertion" vs "implant" ? Some definitions around these ( << 129325002 |Introduction - action| ) "actions" will help both authors and translations. |
| The Netherlands | 10/12/2018 | I'm happy to see this branch will be reviewed and updated. I only miss the review of FSN's with 'introduction' in it, because these are also grouper concepts which are not always very well defined. I agree with definitions around these terms, because insertion is (as non-English country) not very clear in all contexts. For example "insertion of a substance into something', is that the same as 'introduction of a substance into something'? In Dutch it would be the same after translation. You can insert or introduce a substance by means of a injection for example. Sometimes insertion and introduction are synonym, for example in catheterization. So definition of insertion and implantation in different contexts would be very helpful! |
| Sweden | 2018-12-14 (ISO 8601 fgs) | Of the 3211 concepts <<71861002 |Implantation (procedure)| 2220 have an indirect procedure site, <<71861002 |Implantation (procedure)|: 405814001 |Procedure site - Indirect (attribute)| = * ,1350 have an indirect but no direct procedure site, <<71861002 |Implantation (procedure)|: [1..*] 405814001 |Procedure site - Indirect (attribute)| = *, [0..0] 405813007 | Procedure site - Direct (attribute) | = * , and 115 have precisely the generic procedure site attribute, <<71861002 |Implantation (procedure)|: [1..*] 363704007 | Procedure site (attribute) |=*. Looking at a sample of the implantations on the list, they use the indirect site indicating that there is a gap between the formal definition and the FSN. BTW "implantation" is a synonym of "insertion - action". So, we support the overhaul of this area. We do not know of use of these concepts in Sweden. However, we currently do use implantation findings for alert information. |
| Norway | 2018-12-21 | At this point in time, we see no direct use case for most of these unspecified concepts. We welcome the review and a clarification of concept of implantation, insertion and introduction. At least one of the concepts in the list seem to be of a different kind: "Piggyback lens implantation (procedure)". There may be other useful concepts in the branch, so care must be taken not to deactivate useful concepts. |
| Argentina | 2019-01-07 | It´s ok for Argentina. |
