Next week we’re going to send out some points for you to think about in advance of the meeting. We’d like anyone who has an existing ligature test methodology for products to share this with DIMHN/BRE in advance of the meeting, this will help provide some prompts during the group sessions and with producing the testing guidance afterwards.
Can you please send these to admin@dimhn.org
