Foreword

This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

1 Scope

This Standard specifies test methods for particle contamination of intravenous infusion, blood transfusion, injection equipment.

This Standard is applicable to particle contamination inspection of intravenous infusion device. For other products, the particle contamination test method can refer to this Standard.

This Standard is not applicable to syringe for intramuscular injection with a nominal capacity of 1 mL or less.

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

GB/T 6682-2008, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987, MOD)

GB/T 25915.1-2010, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness (ISO 14644-1:1999, IDT)

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

3.1 Fluids for washing

liquids that have not been contacted with test sample and are used to elute particles contained in the test sample

3.2 Fluids after washing

liquids that after the fluids for washing are in contact with the test sample, the particles contained in the sample have been eluted into the fluid for washing

3.3 Blank test

inspection for particles contained in fluids for washing, glass container as well as test equipment

3.4 Tubings

hoses that are for in vitro use, of which the inner surface is in direct or indirect contact with human blood, such as an infusion set, a blood transfusion device, etc.

3.5 Intravascular catheters

hoses that are inserted into human blood vessel, such as central venous catheter, contrast catheter, etc.

3.6 Injection devices

devices that consist at least of piston and jacket, such as hypodermic syringe, high-pressure contrast syringe, etc.

4 General

4.1 The test shall be carried out under laminar flow purification conditions [in accordance with the ISO 5 level (100-level) purification workbench in GB/T 25915.1-2010].

4.2 Before the start of the test, it shall use the method that is same with corresponding test fluids after washing to inspect fluids for washing and carry out blank test. The blank test shall satisfy that the particle contamination index of 500mL fluids for washing is not more than 9.

4.3 For each test, the fluids after washing shall be classified and counted according to Table 1.Calculate the pollution index according to Chapter 12.

5 Particle size classification and evaluation coefficient

The size classification and corresponding evaluation coefficient of the particles in fluids for washing and fluids after washing are shown in Table 1.

6 Principle

Choose the right fluids for washing. Rinse the test piece by the specified method.

Classify and count the particles in the fluids after washing (3.2) by a suitable counting method.

7 Instruments and materials

7.1 Fluids for washing

7.1.1 Fluid A for washing. purified water, filtered through a membrane with a pore size of not more than 0.22µm.

7.2 Vacuum filter

The aperture is 0.45µm.

7.3 Erlenmeyer flask

The volume is 300mL.

7.4 Ultrasonic cleaner

The frequency is 40kHz.

7.5 Oscillating device

Move at a frequency of 300 times/min ~ 350 times/min on a horizontal circular path with a diameter of 12mm ± 1mm.

7.7 Microscope

Magnification is about 50 times, with proper direct illumination of 0°~10° with the microscope stage.

8 Selection of fluids for washing

Purified water (7.1.1) can be selected as the fluids for washing for products that are not siliconized. The siliconized product shall be isopropyl alcohol (7.1.2) or

9 Selection of counting method

The fluids after washing made by purified water (7.1.1) and isopropanol (7.1.2) as fluids for washing can use particle counter method or microscopy.

10 Preparation of fluids after washing

10.1 Tubings

Take 10 test samples for supply. Under a static head of 1 m, use 500mL of fluids for washing to respectively flush the lumen according to the maximum flow rate to obtain 10 portions of 500mL of unit washing fluid separately.

10.3 Injection devices

10.3.1 For test syringes with a nominal capacity of less than or equal to 10mL, take 10 syringes. Respectively extract the fluids for washing of nominal capacity.

Seal the conical joint. Immerse 5min. Place the cone vertically downward into the ultrasonic cleaner (7.4) container to make the water in the washer immersed above the nominal capacity but shall not submerge the syringe. Perform elution 2min.
