Notes

Correction

In the conclusion of the article on the new FDA preanesthetic equipment checklist in the Summer issue on page 2 7 an incorrect telephone number appeared. The end of the article correctly reads:

Those interested in contributing to the revision efforts for the FDA Checkout should contact either their ASA or AANA representatives. Alternatively, the FDA may be contacted directly by writing or calling:

Mr. Jay Crowley
