ǂ Statement of FDA compliance is based solely on the following: HT-800 (Gray) silicone foams (i) are compounded and cured under conditions of good
manufacturing practice; and (ii) have been subjected to annual extraction testing in accordance with FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.2600 paragraphs (e) and (f)
and found to meet all extractives limitations; both of which are criteria set forth in 21 CFR177.2600 as necessary for rubber articles intended for repeated use
in those areas specified in the regulation.
