Ethics declarations

Ethics approval

Ethics approval was not required as we did not conduct any study or test. The device is a prototype developed from our Know-How. We took some photos as schematic diagrams, but the device was not used clinically in patients. We look forward to optimizing this device in a technologically capable factory and apply for ethics approval at that time.
