15、 PAS 291999 Introduction Paper pulp disposable products are made by the extraction of water from a suspension of cellulose fibre. These products are bedpans, slipper bedpans, bottles, bowls, trays and jugs, and are designed to be capable of containing water and/or human waste. They are designed for
16、one-time use and to have a capacity appropriate for one-time use. NOTE 1 Ancillary supports may be used with bedpans and general purpose bowls. NOTE 2 Since the test method in clause 5 requires the products to be filled to half their capacity, the total capacity of different products should be known
17、. 1 Scope This Product Assessment Specification specifies performance requirements for paper pulp disposable products for use in healthcare. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this Product Assessment Specification, the following terms and definitions apply * 2.1 retention ability to contain
18、 water andor human waste for a predetermined period 23 breaking down of product, with the addition of water, to enable effective discharge to sewer dispo4 28 moulded receptacle for collection and retention of human waste 2.4 bottle moulded receptacle for collection and retention of urine 3 Performan
19、ce 3.1 Minimum period for retention of contents Each product shall be capable of retaining water and/or human waste for a minimum period of 4 h when tested in accordance with clause 6. 33Disp04 Each product shall be capable of disposal when tested in accordance with clause 6. 4 Packaging Packaging s
20、hall be designed and used in such a manner as to prevent damage to the products which may affect performance. O BSI 05-1999 1 PAS 291999 5 Water retention test 5.1 Principle This test is to establish the water retention capability of paper pulp products. Tests are repeated at hourly intervals on sam
21、ples selected at random. 52Materials 51.1 Water, at (35 f 3) “C. 5.3Apparatus 5.3.1 Themmte, minimum range O “C to 50 “C. 696 Measunngjug, minimum capacity 500 ml, minimum graduation interval 100 ml. 5.4 Selection of test samples Each hour, randomly select one sample of each product prior to final p
22、ackaging. 5.5 prooedure 5.6.1 Ha-fill each product with water. NOTE All products should contain sufficient amounts of water to represent normal use. 5.62 Inspect the products on test at hourly intervals to check for seepage, which is either the formation of moisture droplets on the outside surface o
23、f the product or more extensive leakage of moisture from the product. Record the results. 5.5.3 Dispose of all products from which seepage occulled within 4 h. 6 Maceration test 6.1 Principle This test is to establish the effective maceration of pulp products for disposal into the sewerage system. 6
24、.2 Apparatus 61.1 Macerator, hospital sluice room type. NOTE This is typically a macerator that initially breaks down the contents by mechanical action and then further reduces them to pulp by the hydraulic action of water. The cycle time is generally 2 min. 6.3 Selection of test samples During prod
25、uction time, every 4 h randomly select four products prior to final packaging. 6.4 procedure 6.4.1 Place the four products in the macerator, start the macerator and run it for the normal cycle time. 6.4.2 At the end of the macerator cycle, inspect the macerator visually to ensure that it is clear of
26、 pulp particles. 6.4.3 Record the results. 2 0 BSI 05-1999 PAS 29:1999 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London w4 4fiL - STD=BSI PAS 29-ENGL 1999 m lib21rbb9 07Oi.182 339 BSI - British Standards Institution BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing British Standards.
