Conflict of Interest and Opening Remarks

    DR. KRAUSE:  Good morning, everybody.  We are ready to begin this, the 63rd meeting of the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel.  My name is David Krause.  I am the Executive Secretary of this panel and I am also a biologist and a reviewer in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Devices Branch.

    I would like to remind everyone that we request that you sign in on the attendance sheets which are just outside the door.  You can also pick up an agenda, a panel-member roster and information about today's meeting out there on the table.  The information includes how to find out about future meetings, future-meeting dates, through the advisory panel phone line and how to obtain meeting minutes or transcripts.

    Before I turn the meeting over to Dr. Whalen, I am required to read two statements into the record.  One is the deputization to temporary voting status and the other is the conflict-of-interest statement.

    "Pursuant to the authority granted under the Medical Devices Advisory Committee Charter, dated October 27, 1990, and as amended August 18, 1999 I appoint Benjamin Anderson, Dennis Boulware, Emily Conant, Nancy Dubler, Ruth Lawrence, Stephen Li, Ellice Liberman, Barbara Manno, Mary McGrath and Michael Olding as deputized voting members of the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel for this meeting on October 14 and 15, 2003.
