They are essential in heart valve operations Fluoropolymers, like PTFE and PVDF, are used in several components for the treatment of serious acute and chronic diseases In hernia meshes for rapid healing of hernia Cleaning of medical devices as cleaning solvents in vapor degreasing applications IVD Instruments & Reagents IVD testing kits for hemostasis products which detect blood coagulation Heat-transfer agent in IVD clinical chemistry diagnostic testing instruments, which is essential to the functioning of the instrument Surfactant properties in in vitro diagnostic assays, which allow measures of various parameters such as magnesium concentration in serum, plasma and urine Fluoropolymers like PTFE and PVDF are used in several components for analytical instruments In device part of an integral drug-device combination Other: Coating on the dispense tip, tubing and tubing connectors, distributors, seals and gaskets, syringe pump valves, O-rings and sealants 4 PFAS in the medical technology sector Why PFAS Properties such as chemical and heat resistance, lubrication and biocompatibility PFAS is either a component of the final medical device or IVD, or a processing aid used during upstream manufacturing PFAS substances are often key to achieving the required high performance and durability of the products in the various use areas 5 Alternatives Without PFAS, these medical technologies would not be able to perform their intended purpose Sometimes, the alternative is another type of PFAS the functionalities of PFAS make them preferred over alternatives A non-PFAS would likely lead to e.g.

Apart from the immense demand for green electricity from industry, private households will play an increasingly important role: The growing share of e-mobility and the expansion of electricity-based heat pumps in buildings will lead to an increasing demand for electricity and its infrastructure.

Such exceptions are vital for the well-being of our patients, as banning these materials would lead to increased complications and reduce treatment options.

If, for example, the sealing material were to stick to the closing element of the sprinkler due to unsuitable sealing, this could lead to failure (i.e. non-opening) of the sprinkler with all the resulting risks to life and limb, the environment and property damage.
