About RoHS Parts
The European Union has initiated a new directive which applies to all medical
devices sold in Europe. This directive is
2011/65/EU of the European
Parliament and the Council
, commonly referred to as “RoHS 2” (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances). The directive requires companies to restrict the use of
certain substances in the design of their products (such as lead, mercury, etc.).
Some of the parts in the LIFEPAK 20/20e device have been updated to comply
with this standard. For these parts, both RoHS-certified and non-RoHS parts
may be listed.
RoHS-certified parts and non-RoHS parts are functionally equivalent. However,
when ordering parts replacement, use the following RoHS vs Non-RoHS Parts
Replacement Rules to decide what parts to order.
RoHS Device Identification—LIFEPAK 20e devices that are RoHS compliant can
be identified by the product serial number label. The product part number for a
RoHS version is 3202488 with a dash number of 300 or greater.
