Disposal regulation in the EU and the US for a small medical device battery powered (like a toothbrush).

  • 1.  Disposal regulation in the EU and the US for a small medical device battery powered (like a toothbrush).

    Dear Regulatory experts,
    I wonder which are the applicable regulations about product disposal requirements for a small medical device battery powered to be marketed in both Europe and the US.
    In the EU I understand that the following regulations applies: 2020/0353 (repealing directive 2006/66), WEE directive 2012/19/EU and 2005/32/EC, which establishes a framework for eco-design requirements energy-using products. I don't know if the regulatory framework is complete for the EU, and I miss info for the US.
    Who can help?
