ASTM F2459 Standard Test Method for Extracting Residue from Metallic Medical Components and Quantifying via Gravimetric Analysis

The latest draft of ASTM F2459 Standard Test Method for Extracting Residue from Metallic Medical Components and Quantifying via Gravimetric Analysis just published. The key difference in this version is the inclusion of the method to determine extractable residue by measuring the medical device before and after extraction. This approach is particularly useful for smaller parts, a method CPG routinely uses to assist clients in cleaning validation.
