FDA Definition: Face mask is intended to be worn by general public or healthcare personnel.  The mask covers the users face and mouth and may or may not meet fluid barrier or filtration efficiency levels.  The device is subject to ED if labeling conditions outlined in the IIE guidance (https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/enforcement-policy-face-masks-and-respirators-during-coronavirus-disease-covid-19-public-health) are met, for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

We are working daily with our supply partners and logistics providers to address shortages & delays as they occur. Considering the current conditions, we anticipate supply disruptions for all PPE products. Moreover, China is retaining significantly more PPE products for use within their country that were originally slated for export and policies are changing rapidly. There has also been changes to how the products are being packaged and shipped. Product that meets CDC certification may or may not be marked as “not for medical use.” This combination of factors may lead to delays and changes in manufacturing, labeling, packaging, and/or shipments of these select products that MIDSCI sources from China.

The evaluation for allocation, as goods are secured, will include multiple factors, most notably historical demand run rates. We are diligently working to find new sources to supplement our current suppliers and enhance our ability to fill orders. As this develops, our team will provide details on how we can improve the current situation. If you have any questions, please reach out to us throughout this process, so we can answer any of your questions.

MIDSCI remains committed to balanced distribution of all protective products that both supports the public health and governmental response to the Coronavirus and ensures product availability to our existing industrial and healthcare customers whose operations rely on our products.
