Symbols for medial devices containing phthalates
The revision of the Medical Devices Directive per 2007/47/EC brings to your device the obligation to mark your product when they contain plasticizers with carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic properties. Three products have been identified as such and are often used in plastics used in Medical Devices. The Revised directive's grace period ends per March 21st of 2010, that is very soon or even expired as you read this. After this date the modified directive has come into force, and your product need to comply.
The abbreviations in the symbol stand for the following chemicasl / plasticizers:
- PHT Common name for plasticizer : Phthalates
- DEHP = Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
- DBP = Dibutyl phthalate
- BBP = Benzyl butyl phthalate
You MUST mark your plastic medical device with one of the appropriate labels above.
Now you have purchased the standard just to discover that the symbols reproduced are of such bad quality that you cannot decently reproduce them for use on your product.
