A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval. 1. Scope parison of the hemolytic This practice provides a protocol for the assessment of index produced by a test pared with that produced hemolytic properties of materials used in the fabrication of by a standard reference material such as polyethylene at the medical devices that will contact blood. same test conditions. This practice is intended to evaluate the acute in vitro direct contact test—a test for the hemolytic property hemolytic properties of materials intended for use in contact performed with the test material in direct contact with the with blood. blood. This practice consists of a protocol for a hemolysis test extract test—a test for the hemolytic property per- under static conditions with either an extract of the material or formed with an isotonic extract of the test material, as direct contact of the material with blood. described in F 619, in contact with the blood. This practice is one of several developed for the hemolysis—destruction of erythrocytes resulting in assessment of the patibility of materials.
