Changes to obligation concerning labelling of medical devices containing phthalates
We are alerting our clients about changes to obligation concerning labelling of medical devices containing phthalates. The obligation became Law on 21 March 2010, consequently all products Placed on the Market and Put into Service (ie, supplied from 21 March 2010) must comply otherwise it is an Offence.  The restrictions concern devices or parts (components or constituents thereof) intended to administer and/or remove medicines, body liquids or other substances to or from the body, or devices intended for transport and storage of such body fluids or substances.

QFI can help to examine the biological safety risks of phthalate in a medical device, explore relevant intolerance and toxicity aspects and formulate the required documentation to support continued Placement of product on the market.
