§2584. Existing inventories
A. Mercury-added products with a code or date of manufacture indicating the products were manufactured prior to June 2, 2006, or that are meant to service products manufactured prior to June 2, 2006, are exempt from the provisions of R.S. 30:2575, 2576, 2578, 2581, and 2583 if there are no reasonable non-mercury alternatives. If the mercury-added product has a date of manufacture or the manufacturer can provide documentation that the product in question was manufactured prior to June 2, 2006, or the product is a service part for a product manufactured prior to June 2, 2006, it is exempt from the provisions of R.S. 30:2575, 2576, 2578, 2581, and 2583 if there are no reasonable non-mercury alternatives. Situations that are beyond the control of the manufacturer, such as old stock being held by retailers, shall be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
B. Medical equipment containing mercury-added products currently being used in a heath care facility and manufactured prior to June 2, 2006, may remain in service until replaced or refurbished. In the event a mercury-added product being used in a health care facility is refurbished, medical equipment containing a mercury-added product shall be refurbished with a non-mercury containing component, unless there is no reasonable non-mercury alternative or the mercury containing component has been exempted by the provisions of R.S. 30:2576.
