16、ary of Practice4.1 Standard-size specimens of the plastic, which may closely simulate the intended device depending upon the use, areimmersed in defined volumes of selected liquids (extraction vehicles) for the time and temperature specified.4.2 A choice is made, based on the end use, of the extract
17、ion vehicles (see Section 7) and one of the combinations of time andtemperature for the test (see Section 12).4.3 The resultant test liquids (extract liquids) are kept in glass containers suitable containers as described in 6.3 until used fortesting. The test liquids shall be stored tightly stoppere
18、d at normal room temperature. Test liquids for biological testing are keptin sterile glass containers. Consideration should be given as to whether the extraction should be done under aseptic conditions. Thetest liquids for biological testing should be used within 24 h.5. Significance and Use5.1 Thes
19、e extraction procedures are the initial part of several test procedures used in the biocompatibility screening of plasticsused in medical devices.5.2 The limitations of the results obtained from this practice should be recognized. The choice of extraction vehicle, durationof immersion, and temperatu
20、re of the test is necessarily arbitrary. The specification of these conditions provides a basis forstandardization and serves as a guide to investigators wishing to compare the relative resistance of various plastics to extractionvehicles.5.3 Correlation of test results with the actual performance o
21、r serviceability of materials is necessarily dependent upon thesimilarity between the testing and end-use conditions (see 12.1.2 and Note 4).5.4 Caution should be exercised in the understanding and intent of this practice as follows:5.4.1 No allowance or distinction is made for variables such as end
22、-use application and duration of use. Decisions on selectionof tests to be done should be made based on Practice F748.5.4.2 This practice was originally designed for use with nonporous, solid materials. Its application for other materials, such asthose that are porous, or absorptive, or resorptive,
23、should be considered with caution. Consideration should be given to alteringthe specified material to liquid ratio to allow additional liquid to fully hydrate the material and additional liquid or other methodsto fully submerge the test article. Additional procedures that fully remove the extract li
24、quid from the test article, such as pressureor physically squeezing the material, should also be considered as appropriate. Although no definitions are given in this practicefor the following terms, such items as extraction vehicle surface tension at the specified extraction condition and plastic sp
25、ecimenphysical structure should be taken into account.5.5 Test Methods D543, D570, and D1239 may be useful in providing supplemental information.6. Apparatus6.1 Autoclave, capable of maintaining a temperature of 12162.0C (249.863.8F) for at least 1 h and equipped with a displayof temperature and pre
26、ssure. A slow exhaust cycle is necessary. A rack to hold the extraction containers above the water level isalso necessary. Loss of fluid volume should be recorded.6.1.1 Sealed, unvented extraction vessels should not be removed until internal temperature and pressure have reached ambientconditions an
27、d the door can be opened. It is recommended that the extraction vessels be left undisturbed until any risk of boil overhas passed. When the extraction vessels are cool to the touch, the lids should be sealed.6.2 Heating Equipment:6.2.1 Ovens or incubators that will maintain temperatures of 37, 50, 7
28、0 6 2C (98, 122, 158 6 3F).6.2.2 Water baths capable of maintaining temperatures described in 6.2.1. Those with the ability to agitate the extraction vesselsare preferred.6.3 Extraction ContainersSuitable containers that protect the extract liquid from the biological and chemical contamination.They
29、should allow expansion of the liquid, but then be sealed to prevent evaporation. One suggested container is the screw-capculture test tube of borosilicate glass, unless a larger container is required for the size and shape of the material to be extracted.Screw caps, if used, shall have polytetrafluo
30、roethylene liners.6.4 Balance, accurate to 60.1 mg.6.4.1 Caution should be exercised when performing weighings in glassware. Depending upon the required accuracy, the relativehumidity should be the same for weighings at different times.6.5 Micrometers, capable of measuring dimensions of test specime
31、ns to 0.025 mm (0.001 in.).F619 1427. Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade, or better, chemicals shall be used in all tests.5 Other grades may be used, provided itis first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening the accurac
32、y of the determination.7.2 Extraction VehiclesThe following list of standard extraction vehicles is intended to simulate the main constituents ofhuman body fluids. The extraction vehicles shall be:7.2.1 Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, containing by weight not less than 0.85 % and not more than 0.95
33、% sodium chloride.7.2.1.1 Other aqueous solutions shall be made with USP WFI (water for injection).7.2.2 Vegetable Oil:7.2.2.1 Sesame Oil, USP.7.2.2.2 Cottonseed Oil, USP.7.3 Other extraction vehicles as required, such as polyethylene glycol, DMSO, as specified in other standards. Vehicles shouldbe
34、chosen based on biotolerance, the test protocols to be used, and the ability to extract contaminants from the material to be tested.NOTE 1Depending upon the material under test and the users needs, extraction vehicles other than those in 7.2 and 7.3 may be used if the reasonsare justified.8. Samplin
35、g8.1 The application of this practice may be in various areas. Therefore, although some well-known quality sampling methodsmay be used, a statistician might be consulted to ensure a statistically valid sampling plan.8.2 Practice D1898 may also be consulted.9. Test Specimen9.1 This practice is design
36、ed primarily for application to materials in the condition in which they are used. The material shouldbe exposed to all conditions and substances as during a production run, such as washing, packaging, and sterilization. Theextraction may be done on the end-use item, specimen portions thereof, or re
37、presentative molded or extruded test specimens ofthe formulated compound that are preconditioned by the same processing.NOTE 2Changes to a plastic formulation, specifically additives, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants, pigments, and lubricants are perhapsmore prone to produce differenc
38、es in the extract liquid than the polymer itself.9.2 Specimen SizeUse a specimen size as described in the following sections. Suitable-size containers will allow a 20-mLextraction vehicle volume for each of the following specimen sizes:9.2.1 The total surface area of a specimen (both sides) is equiv
39、alent to 120 cm2 (18.6 in.2) when the specimen thickness is 0.50mm (0.020 in.) or less, or equivalent to 60 cm2 (9.3 in.2) when the thickness is greater than 0.50 mm (0.020 in.).9.2.2 An alternative for specimens of intricate geometry or those specimens with a thickness greater than 1.0 mm (0.039 in
40、.)is a specimen whose weight is 0.2 g/ml.9.2.3 Specimens shall be of such dimensions as to conveniently fit within the extraction container and their total surface areashall be completely covered by the extraction vehicle.9.2.3.1 To ensure full submersion of a large or bulky specimen, it may be nece
41、ssary to cut the specimen to provide for fullimmersion of its component pieces in the extraction vehicle. Under no circumstances shall such cutting be allowed to reduce theappropriate sample extraction ratio as determined in 9.2.1 or 9.2.2. If the specimen cannot be cut, coupons known to possess the
42、same surface characteristics and sized to deliver the same overall surface area as the original test specimen can alternately beutilized.9.2.4 It may be necessary to subdivide the specimen, utilize inert and noncontaminating spacers or weights or both, or initiallyagitate the extraction vehicle to e
43、nsure the entire specimen surface is contacted.9.3 Number of Specimen PortionsIn both procedures set forth in Section 12, test at least three specimen portions with eachextraction vehicle to account for variability.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Clean all reusable glassware thoroughly with a chrom
44、ic acid cleansing mixture, or if necessary, with hot nitric acid,followed by prolonged rinsing with tap water and then at least two rinses with distilled water.10.2 Clean cutting devices by an appropriate method, for example, successive cleaning with suitable solvents prior to use insubdividing the
