A "c" with a line over it (cˉ) is an abbreviation of Latin cum and it means "with". This is used in the medical fields and is a type of shorthand. Alternatively, an "s" with a line over it means "without". It seems that Joint Commission and the FDA discourages the usage of some shorthand terms, mainly because it leaves more room for error. Joint Commission has a list of unapproved shorthand that is available in "Related Links". These do not appear to be on the unapproved list - however one should check with Joint Commission before using.
