ASTM D3579 standard published by the American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM) describes the properties and testing methods of Penrose type rubber surgical drainage tubes. The full name of this standard is as follows: ASTM D3579-77 Rubber surgical drainage tubes, the standard specification for the Penrose type.
The test method includes Penrose type rubber tubes used to perform certain surgical drainage processes. The ASTM D3579 standard stipulates requirements such as sterility, safety and X-ray opaque of the rubber tube, and tests to meet these requirements should be conducted. The physical dimensions and physical requirements of the rubber pipe should be tested to meet the prescribed requirements.
This standard includes packaged sterile rubber tubes and packaged or bulk non-sterile rubber tubes. It does not address security issues for its use. Essentially, this standard is designed as a reference to the performance and safety of rubber surgical drainage tubes. Safe and correct usage conditions of rubber surgical drainage tubes are outside the scope of this standard.
It is directly the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of legal restrictions.
The ASTM D3579-77 standard offers the following test methods:
These tests should be carried out in accordance with the latest update of the US pharmacopoeia. Also, the following standards are taken into account during the tests:
