16 devices — the adjudicated READY set of the Mnemonics Production Dossier: every device verified against named sources in the adjudication pass, its canonical form, variants and rejected forms printed exactly as that pass fixed them.
Version C — proposed amendment, not a replacement in use: Bass et al. conclude "familial" should be substituted for "forty" (age >40 did not predict cholelithiasis in their cohort, p=0.697; family history did, p<0.001)
Folk memory aid — never dressed as evidence (INT Phase 1-A #6, as "4 Fs")
Calot's (hepatobiliary) triangle — "the 3 Cs" decode

Inferior surface of the liver (third border)
Cystic artery — a CONTENT of the triangle, not a border

CONVENTION, kept distinct on this card: the items above are the MODERN hepatobiliary triangle (canonical). Calot's ORIGINAL 1891 "3 Cs" form takes the cystic artery as the superior border; in the modern triangle the artery is a content. The card teaches the modern triangle and records the 1891 original as history — the two are never blended.
Head form: I GET SMASHED (Geeky Medics / Osmosis). GET SMASHED (TeachMeSurgery; Wikipedia's GET SMASHHED) is the same list minus the idiopathic head letter — a variant, not a rival. The lists are never blended.
E ruling (adjudication): "LDH or AST" is canonical — the internal corpus's LDH-only printing is incomplete. One deck's "Albumin <30" is a minority error against the consistent <32.
The thresholds above the split are the non-gallstone set; the gallstone set differs and is shown on the card, as the adjudication requires.
REJECTED as canonical: "A White Glucose Lab Assistant" (reorders the letters W-G-L-A) — recorded as a variant. "A Good LAW" is the same device in different phrase dress.
Haematocrit ABOVE threshold — >43% men, >39.6% women (1)
Serum creatinine ≥2 mg/dL (1)

DIRECTION, stated explicitly as the adjudication requires: HAPS awards a point for each abnormality PRESENT. HAPS 0 — all three absent/normal — predicts the harmless course.
The letter-gloss printed here is EpoMedicine's, cited as such; the grade definitions underneath it match the primary source (Balthazar et al., Radiology 1990), which governs where wording differs.
Citation correction (round-2 adjudication): the primary paper is Ann Surg 2006;243:380–388 — not Pancreatology, as earlier printings had it.
The four cut-offs are the device's content, and the '≥3 positive = severe likely' gloss (per EpoMedicine) rides with them — both flagged for the UpToDate queue (§5).

The mapping above is printed exactly as the adjudication fixed it. Alternative form recorded: A BEAP (Albumin · Bilirubin · Encephalopathy · Ascites · PT) — a genuine published competitor (EpoMedicine).
FLAG (round-2 adjudication §2): the AMBOSS page itself is paywalled and was not opened in the round-2 pass; the carrier phrase is attested via a search-extracted AMBOSS mirror. The pathogen trio is independently corroborated as content (BMJ 2005;331:417 and multiple reviews).
