Economic Impact Of FDA Latex Allergies Labeling Update An Excerpt:

fda.gov

In the Federal Register of September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51021), FDA published a final rule (to be codified at 21 CFR 801.437), under its authority in section 505(a) and (f) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 352(a) and (f)), requiring certain labeling statements on medical devices that contain or have packaging that contains natural rubber. This rule becomes effective on September 30, 1998. The agency issued this rule because medical devices composed of natural rubber may pose a significant health risk to some consumers and health care providers who are sensitized to natural latex proteins. The FDA has received numerous reports about adverse effects related to reactions to natural latex proteins contained in medical devices, including 16 deaths following barium enemas. These deaths were associated with anaphylactic reactions to the natural rubber latex cuff on the tip of barium enema catheters. Scientific studies and case reports have documented sensitivity to natural latex proteins found in a wide range of medical devices. It is estimated that 5 to 17 percent of health care workers are sensitive to latex proteins(Refs. 1 through 5).

It isn't all worth reading but the facts are simple. Latex allergies are not going away and neither am I.

GO ABMI
