PFAS and Medical Devices - How the REACH Restriction may Impact You

The proposal for a universal PFAS REACH restriction aims to significantly restrict use of PFAS in the EU, including in medical devices, with the aim of eventually phasing out their use. The proposal puts forward broad restrictions on the uses of PFAS, with limited potential exemptions and derogations, including in some medical device uses, but with a focus on the availability of alternatives. This webinar will specifically discuss:

• Broader context on PFAS;
• Scope and status of the restriction proposal;
• Specific impacts of the proposed restriction for medical devices; and
• What actions to envisage.
