A2133B → A2133C · 4 edits

MODERATE

The bill version was updated from B to C, reflecting additional committee action and a technical amendment to the definition of prohibited medical tubing. The most significant change removes the ban on PVC-containing medical tubing, leaving only a restriction on tubing with intentionally added DEHP (a type of plasticizer). This narrows the scope of the ban while maintaining protections against DEHP exposure.

The bill's scope was narrowed by removing the prohibition on PVC medical tubing, now only banning tubing containing intentionally added DEHP.

REQUIREMENT

Removed the ban on medical tubing made with PVC, keeping only the restriction on tubing containing intentionally added DEHP.

DEFINITION

Updated the definition of prohibited medical tubing to exclude PVC as a banned material, focusing solely on DEHP content.

Added a definition for 'PVC' (polyvinyl chloride) to clarify the material being regulated.

Added a definition for 'Unintentionally added DEHP' to distinguish between DEHP that is added for function versus DEHP that contaminates the product.

REQUIREMENT

Expanded the ban to prohibit medical solution containers and medical tubing made with PVC or intentionally added DEHP, not just intravenous containers.

Established a new requirement that medical products must not contain unintentionally added DEHP at levels of 0.1% weight per weight or higher.
