We manufacture medical devices mainly orthopaedic implants , we sometimes use very small amouints of trichloroethylene to clean some implants do we need to register with Reach ?
is there any substitute material avaialable which is not harmful?
what is the harm in using trichloroethylene is it causing harm to the receipent when the implant is inserted in the body or is it harming the person who is cleaning?
is there a need to again wash the implant with some solution after using trichloroethylene? to remove the trichloroethylene?
the weight of the implant is appoximately 800 gms as per the reach defination of 0.1% w/w would we need to register?
could spirit be an alternative ?
