ASTM F665-1998(2003) Standard Classification for Vinyl Chloride Plastics Used in Biomedical Application《生物医学用氯乙烯塑料的标准分类》.pdf

1、Designation: F 665 98 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Classification forVinyl Chloride Plastics Used in Biomedical Application1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 665; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the

2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This classification provides guidance to engineers andusers in the selection of practical vinyl chloride pla

3、stics formedical applications and further provides a method for speci-fying these materials by use of a simple line call-out designa-tion. This classification excludes vinyl chloride plastics used inlong-term implants.1.2 Use is made of a classification scheme based on thepremise that the compositio

4、n of vinyl chloride plastics, copoly-mers, fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, and other additives inthese systems can be arranged into characteristic materialdesignations.1.3 In all cases where the provisions of this classificationsystem would conflict with those of the detailed specificationfor a

5、particular device, the latter shall take precedence.NOTE 1For cases in which the vinyl chloride plastic may be used forpurposes where the requirements are too specific to be completelydescribed by this classification system, it is advisable for the purchaser toconsult the supplier to secure adjustme

6、nt of the properties to suit the actualconditions to which the device is to be subjected.1.4 The biocompatibility of vinyl chloride plastics as a classof materials has not been established. Since many composi-tions and formulations fall under this class, it is essential thatthe fabricators/device ma

7、nufacturers assure the safety andefficacy of the specific composition or formulation, in itsintended application, using state-of-the-art test methods.1.5 This classification is to assist the interface between thematerial supplier and the device manufacturer (fabricator) whopurchases a formulated vin

8、yl chloride plastic for a component.For those device manufacturers (fabricators) who do their ownformulating, compounding, extrusion, molding, and so forth,this classification does not apply.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It

9、is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
