This includes that the below mentioned medical devices are designed and manufactured in a way that when used under the conditions and for the purpose intended, they will not compromise the clinical condition or the safety of patients nor the safety and health of users or third parties if the products are used under the intended condition and purpose. Respective assessments are executed e.g. in combination with the implementation of the risk management system according to ISO 14971.
Since adoption of the European Directive 'REACH’ (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) we have to inform which devices include a substance named in the so called list of candidates in a concentration of more than 0.1 mass percentage. This list has been announced to public on the ‘ECHA’ website (European Chemical Agency) on October 28th, 2008 and has been updated continuously.

The affected products from the divisions Hospital Care and OPM, the DEHP (CAS Number: 117-81-7) to more than 0.1 mass percentage mentioned are labeled as follows:
The identification is based on the following rules: Directives 67/548/EEC, 1999/45/EC and EC Regulation No. 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation) and the REACH Regulation (1907/2006).
Products containing DOTE (CAS Number: 15571-58-1) with more than 0.1 mass percentage are listed in the attached letter.
