your MTSO/client says to go by BOS. If so, then it is an error.

Subject: difference between abbreviation and
When in doubt, I refer to Stedman's Abbreviation book. For example, I have always hated typing "afib" for atrial fibrillation, so I looked it up. In this book, the proper way to abbreviate it is AFib. As far as cc versus mL, that is a Joint Commission requirement, not a BOS issue. Another example is sed rate. There is no approved abbreviation that sounds like sed rate, but the book shows sed rt, which is something I wouldn't use. Sed is truncated, not abbreviated, so I expand to sedimentation rate.
I work for 2 companies with slightly different approaches to a couple of BOS issues, both being very reputable MTSOs, so I have to keep them straight in my head. One wants me to use platelets if that is what is said in the CBC dictation; the other wants me to use platelet count.
You will have to decide what path you need to take.

Subject: I would make just a few changes -
If you're asking whether the sentences look right, most of it looks okay to me, but at the very least, I'd suggest the following changes:
1. BioMed AGC anatomic femoral component, 60 mm, left.
2. BioMed all-poly patellar button, three-post, 34 mm diameter. (you might be able to expand all-polyethylene if okay with account specs).
3. Biomet DCN AGC molded tibial component, interlock finish, posterior stabilized, 12 mm thick x 65 mm wide.
Someone else may do it differently, but this is how I would type it.
BTW, did you mean BioMed on #3, or is it actually Biomet in this case?
