CBP Finds Israel to be Origin of Carbon Dioxide Sampling Products

CBP determined that two carbon dioxide sampling medical products originate in Israel for government procurement “buy American” purposes, the agency said in a notice. Made by Oridion Medical, the FilterLine and CapnoLine sets are medical devices designed to carry a patient’s breath to a monitor and consist of tubing, a means of connecting to the patient, referred to as the patient interface, and a means of connection to a monitor. The FilterLine set is for intubated patients, designed to connect to ventilator tubing carrying oxygenated air from a ventilator to a patient through an airway adaptor, while the CapnoLine set is for non-intubated patients, which provide a nasal or oral/nasal interface for the patient, said CBP. CBP agreed with Oridion that Israel is the country of origin for both products because that's where the carbon dioxide and/or oxygen tubes are manufactured, the agency said.
