Safety INFORMATION
The Haystack Fab Lab is following guidance from the NIH, FDA, and other health experts on producing PPE that is safe for use in a clinical setting. All parts produced in the lab are disinfected (sterilized) with isopropyl alcohol (99%). We also have setup a “touch-free” pick up system to get PPE to people as safely as possible.
From the National Institute of Health’s COVID response page:
The FDA has authorized production of protective face shields outside of the normal clearance pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on Part 5, section D of the “Enforcement Policy for Face Masks and Respirators During the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff." This face shield has undergone review in a clinical setting and is recommended when fabricated as instructed.
