14、F 921 85 (2002)3APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 Because there is a clinical need for a variety ofinstruments for general and surgical procedures, they aremanufactured in various configurations and from various typesof stainless steel. For practical purposes and patient safety,the
15、se devices supplied by different manufacturers necessitate adefined system of categorization, materials, and performancerequirements.X1.2 This is the first standard of a multiple part standard thatdefines the components of a hemostatic forceps designed forrepeated use, including various terminology
16、that describesperformance considerations.X1.3 Box LockThe box lock construction defined in thisterminology is the most commonly produced junction forhemostatic forceps. However, the intent is not to prohibittechnological innovation or to exclude instruments manufac-tured with other types of pivoting
17、 features such as lap joints.X1.4 Disposable instruments are not included in this termi-nology, nor are the instruments designed for specific surgery.However, a part or all of the terminology defined herein may beapplicable to specific and disposable surgical instruments.This standard is subject to
18、revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must be reviewed every five years andif not revised, either reapproved or withdrawn. Your comments are invited either for revision of this standard or for additional standardsand should be addressed to ASTM International Headquarters. Y
