According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

It was while on this quest for information that I first encountered Reborn Dolls. They literally took my breath away! As an artist

It was the fall of 1992, at the IBM plant in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where I worked when I received notice that my job would be eliminated early the next year. My immediate thoughts were on the order of what did I do wrong, did I make someone mad, etc. But it was nothing like that.
