The dissolve of the International association INTERBOR
On December 27, 2019, at Mrs. Ellen VERHAERT Notary in Antwerp, an Extraordinary General Statutory Meeting of this International non-profit association “INTERBOR”, international Association of Bandagists, Orthopedists,
Prosthesis Makers and Orthopedic Shoe Technologists”, with registered office in Belgium – 2550 Kontich, Tulpenlaan 21, legal entitles register Antwerp department 0465.045.021.
The meeting was opened at 2:30 PM under the chairmanship of Mr. Edmond Deschoolmeester, who is granted full individual authority to act solely on behalf of the association in legal proceedings and against third parties.
This INTERBOR Nomenclature was not destroyed but passed on to Mr. Deschoolmeester Edmond to make it useful again at a later date in one other International association as here in the “International Foundation Papa Jack V.R.”
And so it can be of use to anyone who has to do with our professional sector.
INFO ABOUT THE INTERBOR NOMENCLATUUR ©
An extreme import part of the commissions’ work is therefore the development of standards for P&O devices.
In 1998 Interbor has established a working group, existing of multi-disciplinary P&O professionals that has elaborated a nomenclature of ready-made P&O devices over the past years. The need to develop a nomenclature is directly linked to the EC Medical Device Directive, which is nowadays mandatory in every EU Member State. It exists of a coherent set of rules to be used for identification of P&O products. It covers:
- P&O product descriptions of types that are placed on the market, Intended use of the product, user characteristics, Contra indication and related terms;
- Product types and not different marks of similar products from several manufactures ;
- It restricted to ready-made products with relevant information for the consumer and (para)medical professionals involved in the selection and usage of prostheses and orthoses. Components are excluded because of the irrelevancy of the target group;
- It includes also various activity levels for more complicated products such as ICIDH-2/ICF.
The nomenclature can be used for different purposes, like:
- To stimulate international harmonization, standardization and co-operation through the use of similar language and terminology;
- To stimulate new approaches for the provision and service-delivery liked to prostheses and orthoses;
- To contribute to existing standardization in the field of P&O’s.
