Something tells me that in this text, "contains" and "presence of" are meant to have two distinct meanings. Perhaps "Presence of" indicates that only traces of the material are present, while "contains" indicates that the material constitutes one of the basic components.
However, judging by this FDA page, "contains" and "presence of" can also be used as synonyms by people who know better (than me, not the author of your text :-) ):
"Medical devices having packaging that contains natural rubber that contacts humans
should bear labeling with one of the following statements as appropriate in bold print:
“Caution: The Packaging of This Product ***Contains*** Natural Rubber Latex Which May Cause Allergic Reactions.”
OR
“The Packaging of This Product ***Contains*** Dry Natural Rubber.”
The purpose of such statements is to inform individuals who are sensitive to natural rubber about ***the presence of*** natural rubber in the packaging of devices that may be, by themselves, natural rubber-free."

Contains or made of
I would use contains or made from/of as it is a nebulizer and there will be parts of it made from latex rubber and parts of the internals which would be latex rubber.
Some people are allergic to latex rubber, and in some instances there are special treatments and processes to observe when dealing with and cleaning latex rubber. Nebulizer oils can also react to latex rubber..
Ie; solvents can damage the latex.
