Abstract. Tactile and haptic interaction is becoming increasingly important and ergonomic standards can ensure that systems are designed with sufficient concerns for ergonomics and interoperability. ISO (through working group TC159/SC4/WG9) is working toward international standards, which are being dual-tracked as both ISO and CEN standards. This paper gives an update on the status of the work in progress and the recently published International Standard on tactile/haptic interactions. Active involvement of experts is sought for work on terms and definitions and measures to characterize devices and operator capabilities.

The present review found little benefit in performing intraoperative frozen section in this setting. As a diagnostic test the cost of frozen section (NZ $200 for each frozen section) needs to be weighed against its low clinical benefit.
