is relatively new and the product was only developed recently, it is one of the first of it type in the UK to receive accreditation under rigorous new standards prescribed by the European Communities Council Medical Devices Directive. Securing accreditation involved an intensive assess­ ment of APM's product, organisation, systems and Health and Safety procedures by a Government-appointed inspectorate. The company also produced certificated evi­ dence that XPAIN 2000 has undergone specialist testing by an independent agency to meet a 206-page British Stan­ dard on electrical safety. XPAIN 2000, which includes England and Chelsea


football star Graeme Le Saux among its growing list of "fans", relieves chronic pain anywhere in the body by transmitting a sensation-free electrical impulse in a unique format into the spinal cord, causing an analgesic effect. It is now widely used in pain clinics, physiotherapy depart­ ments and hospices through­ out the United Kingdom. New product developments

Bare Farm, Wiggles- worth, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alco­ hol and was fined £500, with £35 costs, and was disqualified from driving for 30 months. The court heard that Rushton gave a reading of 117 against a


legal limit of 35. Mr Tom Snape, prosecut­ ing, said police had been
