The biocompatibility of STHT® platinum-cured silicone hose,
manufactured with Sani-Tech® silicone,has been tested and complies
with the parameters set forth in the following test protocols:
• USP XXIV (88) biological reactivity, in vivo
- Intracutaneous test, Systemic injection test, Implantation test
• USP XXIV (87) biological reactivity, in vitro
- L929 MEM elution, AGAR diffusion
• ISO 10993
• FDA CFR 177.2600
• Meets or exceeds USDA standard and 3A approval
• European Pharmacopoeia 3.1.9
|
• Autoclavable
• Radiation – up to 5.0 Mrad (50 Kilogray)
• Gas – Ethylene Oxide
NOTE: NOTE: STHT® hose will not deteriorate with repeated autoclaving. This method
of sterilization is strongly recommended. STHT® silicones should not be
considered for consistent steam applications.
WARNING: Do not use STHT® silicone hose in hot oil or acid applications.
