2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThe objective of this specification is to describe those produc

3、t requirements and associated testmethods that will ensure the safety and effectiveness of a disposable, 5-cm3(mL) balloon,retention-type catheter used in urinary bladder drainage.This specification includes referee test methods that can be used to determine compliance with thestated performance req

4、uirements. Note that the test methods are not to be construed as productionmethods, quality control techniques, or manufacturers lot release criteria. The product parametersaddressed by the standard include those determined by the FDA Panel on Review ofGastroenterological-Urological Devices to be pe

5、rtinent to the proposed classification of the Foleycatheter to FDA Class II standards, plus other parameters determined by the ASTM task force to bepertinent to the product.This specification represents the state of the art at this time and is a minimum performancespecification. It is recognized tha

6、t the document must remain dynamic; suggestions for revision areencouraged, and should be directed to Committee F04 Staff Manager,ASTM, 100 Barr Harbor Dr., POBox C700, West Conshohocken, PA 194282959.1. Scope1.1 This performance specification establishes performancerequirements for the short-term u

7、tilization of a single-use,balloon-retention catheter, French sizes 12 through 26inclusive, used by the medical professions for providing ameans of bladder drainage by means of the urethra. Theproduct is manufactured in various sizes and materials such aslatex, silicone, rubber, and various polymers

8、 (as well ascombinations of these) and is provided nonsterile for steriliza-tion and sterile for single use only. Catheters whose surface hasbeen chemically treated to effect biocompatibility or microbialproperties may be tested to this specification.1.2 ExclusionsLong-term indwelling usage (over 30

9、 days)is encountered with this product, but not commonly, and istherefore considered an exception to this specification.Similarly, the use of such catheters for nonurethral catheter-ization (such as for nephrostomy, suprapubic cystostomy,ureterostomy, gastrostomy, enemas, and so forth) is excludedfr

10、om the scope of this specification. Likewise, three lumencatheters, 30-cm3balloon and pediatric catheters, and catheterswhose surface has been chemically treated to enhance theirlubricity have not been tested to this specification and excludedfrom the scope of this specification and will require sep

32、ng of any positive reaction that might beobserved should reflect the degree of erythema or edema, orboth, on the test sites. The pass or fail conclusion is based onthe mild or severe nature of the reactions, respectively.4.7.2 Criteria as to the microscopical evaluation of tissuereaction to the meth

The industry recognizes that 1 label French size is the desired value.The tolerance in this table is representative of the present state of the art inmanufacturing Foley catheters, however, it is argued that this value can beimproved.F623 99 (2013)35.1.1 Care shall be taken during te

40、sting and use to preventdamage to the catheters. Such damage can be caused byabrasion and contact with sharp objects or chemical products.Contact shall be avoided with any of the following substances:vegetable oils, mineral oils or petrolatum, cleaning solvents,phenol, ether, cresols, oxidizing agen

41、ts, copper, and manga-nese.5.1.2 In addition, catheters should be kept away from thevicinity of generators, electric motors, diathermy machines,fluorescent lights, and so forth, because the ozone producedattacks rubber. This applies to both storage and handling.5.1.3 To help avoid contamination of t

42、he catheters, properhandling precautions shall be observed.6. Test Methods56.1 Flow Rate Through Drainage Lumen:6.1.1 ScopeThis method covers the determination of flowrates through the drainage lumen of the balloon retentioncatheters.6.1.2 Significance and UseThe flow rate is measured inreverse flow

43、 for ease in testing, since differences in the flowrate as a result of flow direction are theoretically insignificant.6.1.3 Summary of Test MethodThe apparatus is set up asshown in Fig. 3. The flow rate is adjusted through the waterinlet to a rate sufficient to maintain flow through the overflowoutl

44、et while each catheter is tested.Ahead pressure of 20 6 1.0cm of water (196 6 10 kPa) above the tank bottom shall bemaintained throughout the test to approximate actual physi-ologic conditions. The overflow outlet should not be coveredby water.6.1.4 Apparatus:6.1.4.1 Water Reservoir, capable of main

45、taining 20 6 1.0cm (7.9 6 0.4 in.) of water (196 6 10 kPa) above the tip of thecatheter connection throughout the test as shown in Fig. 3.6.1.4.2 Graduated Cylinder, calibrated for suitable measure-ment of the effluent.6.1.4.3 Syringe, with appropriate tip for inflation of catheterballoon.6.1.5 Warn

46、ings:6.1.5.1 Overflow should not be covered. Head pressuremust be kept constant; water should always be exiting throughthe overflow outlet.6.1.5.2 Establish equilibrium before testing.FIG. 3 Flow Rate Apparatus for Reverse Flow TechniqueF623 99 (2013)46.1.5.3 Flow rates through all fittings must exc

47、eed that ofthe catheter being tested.6.1.6 Test SpecimenThe test specimen shall consist of themanufacturers new, finished, untested product; at least statis-tically valid samples of the smallest and the largest diametercatheters shall be tested.6.1.7 Procedure:6.1.7.1 Test at 23 6 4C (73.4 6 7F).6.1

48、.7.2 Inflate the retention balloon of the test specimenwith distilled or deionized water to labeled volume. Forexample, a 5-cm3balloon should be inflated with 5 + 2, 0cm3of distilled or deionized water (or as recommended by theindividual manufacturer on the label).6.1.7.3 Connect the catheter to cat

49、heter connector and openthe stopcock. The tip of the catheter connection at the junctionof catheter on-off valve should be level with the bottom of thetank 61 cm and it should deliver fluid at 20 6 1 cm (196 6 10kPa) head pressure at that junction.6.1.7.4 Establish the inflow and outflow equilibrium beforetest measurements.6.1.7.5 Record the amount of water flowing through thecatheter drainage lumen in 1 min. Express results in cubiccentimetres per minute as flow rate. Test each catheter threetimes and calculate the average flow rate
