Current Methods of Diagnosis Sample Clauses

Current Methods of Diagnosis. As with many helminthic infections, the diagnostic measures available to detect onchocerciasis vary in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and field applicability. Historically, onchocerciasis was mapped based on observation of skin nodules and validated using superficial skin biopsies called skin snips [51, 56]. As technology has developed, new diagnostic methods have been put forth in attempts to improve the accuracy of onchocerciasis detection. Each of these methods has varying degrees of improved diagnostic accuracy and time intensity for testing in the field. There is an increased need for highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tests as onchocerciasis control programs have successfully decreased the prevalence of onchocerciasis in many regions. Diagnostic methods used historically to establish estimates of infection for control programs are not robust enough to detect low levels of infection in monitoring and evaluation for the purposes of elimination (reviewed in [20, 21, 29, 57-60]).

  • Payment Methodology The Contractor shall be compensated based on the Service Rates in Attachment for units of service authorized by the Institution in a total amount not to exceed the Contract Maximum Liability established in Section C.1. The Contractor’s compensation shall be contingent upon the satisfactory completion of units of service or project milestones identified in Attachment B. The Contractor shall submit invoices, in form and substance acceptable to the Institution with all of the necessary supporting documentation, prior to any payment. Such invoices shall be submitted for completed units of service or project milestones for the amount stipulated.

  • Measurement method An isolation resistance test instrument is connected between the live parts and the electrical chassis. The isolation resistance is subsequently measured by applying a DC voltage at least half of the working voltage of the high voltage bus. If the system has several voltage ranges (e.g. because of boost converter) in conductively connected circuit and some of the components cannot withstand the working voltage of the entire circuit, the isolation resistance between those components and the electrical chassis can be measured separately by applying at least half of their own working voltage with those components disconnected.

  • Procurement Method (a) Quality-Based Selection (b) Selection under a Fixed Budget

  • Payment Methods A. Except as otherwise provided by this Contract, the payment method will be one or more of the following:

  • Diagnosis For a condition to be considered a covered illness or disorder, copies of laboratory tests results, X-rays, or any other report or result of clinical examinations on which the diagnosis was based, are required as part of the positive diagnosis by a physician.

  • Test method 3.3.1. The method used shall be that described in Annex 3, paragraph 3.1.

  • Human Leukocyte Antigen Testing This plan covers human leukocyte antigen testing for A, B, and DR antigens once per member per lifetime to establish a member’s bone marrow transplantation donor suitability in accordance with R.I. General Law §27-20-36. The testing must be performed in a facility that is: • accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks or its successors; and • licensed under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act as it may be amended from time to time. At the time of testing, the person being tested must complete and sign an informed consent form that also authorizes the results of the test to be used for participation in the National Marrow Donor program.

  • Settlement Method For any Option, Net Share Settlement; provided that if the Relevant Settlement Method set forth below for such Option is not Net Share Settlement, then the Settlement Method for such Option shall be such Relevant Settlement Method, but only if Counterparty shall have notified Dealer of the Relevant Settlement Method in the Notice of Final Settlement Method for such Option.

  • Particular Methods of Procurement of Goods Works and Services (other than Consultants’ Services)

  • RE-WEIGHING PRODUCT Deliveries are subject to re- weighing at the point of destination by the Authorized User. If shrinkage occurs which exceeds that normally allowable in the trade, the Authorized User shall have the option to require delivery of the difference in quantity or to reduce the payment accordingly. Such option shall be exercised in writing by the Authorized User.
