Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: FDA Reissues Emergency Use Authorizations
Corona virus update (COVID-19): Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reissues emergency use permits to review types of respirators that can be disinfected for reuse
Silver Spring, MD In response to public health and safety concerns about the removal of some respirators from contamination, the agency reissues some Emergency Use Permits (USA) to identify appropriate respirators for decontamination. Based on the FDA’s increasing understanding of the performance and design of these respiratory devices,
The FDA has decided that some respirators should not be disinfected for reuse by healthcare personnel. For example, the US Food and Drug Administration. USA You have learned from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) test conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that certified fans in China may differ in design and performance. As such,
The US Food and Drug Administration. USA It has decided that the available information does not support decontamination of these respiratory devices and has therefore reviewed the relevant USA. Additionally, the FDA is reviewing related EUAs that no longer allow disinfection or reuse of respirators that have exhalation valves.
“During this unprecedented global epidemic, the Food and Drug Administration continues to provide flexibility and adaptation to the changing needs of Americans based on data and science.” We are committed to carefully evaluating available information and will continue to take action as necessary to protect public health, “said Anand Shah, MD.,

Among other things, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reissued the EUA agreements to:
- Fans used in Chinese-made NIOSH-approved one-time filter devices when reviewing the scope of authorization so that authorized breathing listed in Appendix A is not allowed if cleared.
- Multiple decontamination systems so that 1) they are no longer authorized to purify China-made respirators, where applicable, and 2) only allow decontamination of cellulose-free respirators that do not have an approved expiratory valve or approved air purification devices. NIOSH Breathing for use in healthcare settings while responding to US COVID-19 or emergency health emergencies identified in US Exposure 1 for imported non-NIOSH respirators for disinfection.
According to CDC recommendations, disinfected respirators should only be used if new N95 respirators that have been disinfected by the FDA, NIOSH-certified respirators, or other FDA-approved respirators are not available. . Decontamination systems are only authorized to purge non-cellulose compatible N95 respirators. As such, healthcare workers should not reuse a respirator that does not comply with the authorized decontamination system but has been disinfected with it. Users of any respirator (whether disinfected or not) should adequately assess its suitability after application. Poorly fitting respirators, visual soiling, or damage should not be used.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) remains vigilant and takes immediate action on imported respirators and is NIOSH approved to ensure that health care personnel have adequate protection. For example, the FDA is reissuing two US devices that cover imported respirators adjusting the standards on non-NIOSH respirators that are manufactured in China,
As well as imported non-NIOSH respirators, by Not only included new language related to authorization as noted above , but also to review the scope of the delegation with respect to the jurisdictions that are included in the eligibility criteria in each of the US, among other reviews.
