5、F 921 Terminology Relating to Hemostatic Forceps3. Terminology3.1 Definitions applicable to hemostatic forceps shall be inaccordance with Definitions F 921.4. Material4.1 All of the component parts of the instruments shall bemade of martensitic stainless steel of Type 410, 410X, 416,416MOD, 420A, or

6、 420B of Specification F 899.5. Physical Requirements5.1 Heat Treatment and Hardness for Component Parts:5.1.1 The component parts of the instruments shall be heattreated under conditions recommended for the material used.Typical heat treating guidelines and hardness values are givenin Specification

7、 F 899.5.1.2 The hardness of all opposing parts of the sameinstrument shall not vary in hardness by more than 4 units onthe Rockwell Hardness C scale (HRC) or equivalent. (See TestMethods E18.)5.2 PassivationInstruments and instrument componentsshall be passivated after completion of all fabricating

8、 andfinishing operations.6. Performance Requirements6.1 Finger RingsInside surfaces shall be well roundedand polished and shall comply with the requirements in 7.1.6.2 Jaw Serrations and TeethThe serrations and teethshall be of uniform depth and height and well defined toprovide effective gripping.

9、The serrations and teeth shallinterdigitate. The edges of the serrations shall be chamfered.6.3 Box LockThe hemostatic forceps shall be of box lockconstruction, as defined in Definitions F 921. The pin, or otherfastening component, shall be permanently secured. The jointperformance of the box lock s

10、hall be smooth, of equalresistance, and non-binding when opening or closing theforceps to an included angle of 90 6 5 (the lock may belubricated).6.4 ClearanceThe maximum clearance between the maleand female members of the forceps in the lock area shall be 0.4mm (0.015 in.). The clearance is the vis

11、ible gap that existswhen the instrument is viewed from both the front and sideprofile or end view of the instrument (excluding bevel) (seeFig. 1).6.5 RatchetsRatchets shall securely engage at eachratchet position in a smooth and progressive manner.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of AST

14、, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.6.6 Jaw and Ratchet SettingThe jaw tips shall close andinterdigitate when the first ratchet position is engaged, andthere shall be no visible misalignment of the jaws. The jawsshall progressively tighten with each succeeding ratchet en-gagement. Each

15、 ratchet position shall hold firmly and releaseeasily. The jaws shall be fully closed and the serrationsinterdigitated when the last ratchet is engaged. The jaws shallnot open as the result of engaging any ratchet position.6.7 ElasticityThe instrument by design shall be capable ofpassing the test fo

16、r elasticity as specified in 8.2. After comple-tion of the test, no visible distortion, cracks, or other visibledamage to the instrument shall be evident.7. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance7.1 SurfacesThe surfaces of the instrument shall be uni-formly finished and free of burrs, sharp edges, crac

17、ks, coarsemarks, and manufacturing materials.7.2 TypeThe finish shall be one of the types defined inDefinitions F 921, or as required by the purchaser.8. Test Methods8.1 HardnessHardness shall be determined in accordancewith Test Methods E18or Test Method E92. Conversion ofVickers hardness values to

18、 Rockwell values shall be inaccordance with the Conversion Tables in E 140.8.2 ElasticityThe instrument shall have a segment ofbasswood, leather strap, or stainless steel wire test materialplaced between the jaws at the tip. The instrument shall beengaged in the last (tightest) ratchet position for

19、24 h at roomtemperature. The thickness of the test material shall be as listedin Table 1.8.3 Corrosion ResistanceInstruments or instrument com-ponents shall be subject to the corrosion tests.9. Marking and Labeling9.1 All markings shall be legible.9.2 The instrument shall bear: the manufacturers or

20、con-tractors name or registered trademark; the country of origin,when the instrument is not manufactured in the United States;and other markings as required by the purchaser, manufacturer,or contractor.9.3 The markings shall be located on a suitable surface ofthe instrument.ASTM International takes
