Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Dear Arpad, Thanks for your helpful reply. I have a copy of Stedman's on my bookshelf. What I do not understand is why " vermin " appear in one phrase with children and pets. I can imagine a lice or rat that gets caught between a physical therapy device and exercising patient. However, I don't think this may be significant enough to be specially mentioned in the IFU. I suspect there may be another meaning, still unknown to me.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 There is no other meaning. Unless the author made a mistake, this is what vermin means. In modern English parlance, it tends to refer more to the larger kinds, e.g. rats, but technically it does cover fleas etc. > Dear Arpad, > > Thanks for your helpful reply.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hello I think the basic category is " living creatures whose activities are difficult to control in the environment where the device is located " , the sense presumably being that potential pathogen vectors aren't expected to be a major problem. Unless of course the author simply doesn't like children and pets. All the best Owen > Dear Arpad, > > Thanks for your helpful reply.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hello: I have inmediately thought about parasitic worms: those infest children and pets very often because their eggs remain on the earth for a long time. They are also called helminths. I hope it helps.
