5.1 The two procedures in the test method provide rapid methods for field detection of free water and solid contaminants, or any other visually apparent contamination. Uncertain or marginal results by either of these methods would normally result in the performance of methods such as D2276, D5452, or D3240 for quantitative determination of contaminants.5.1.1 Particulate determination in appearance tests is sensitive to sampling procedures. The presence of a small number of particles may indicate, for example, that the sample line was not flushed to provide a representative sample. The persistent presence of even a small number of particles, however, may be cause for further investigation depending on the situation.5.2 Experience has shown that an experienced tester using a clear bottle can detect as little as 40 ppm of free, suspended water in the fuel. Thus, a fuel rated as clear and bright can still fail lower limits set by quantitative methods. A rater will also have difficulty resolving particles smaller than 40 μm. Smaller particles must be determined by other than visual methods such as D2276, D5452 or chemical field tests listed in Manual 5.55.3 Experience has shown the visual appearance of fuel in a white porcelain bucket to be the most suitable method for the detection of dye contamination or other unusual discoloration. In the U.S., the white porcelain bucket is used to detect the dye.1.1 This test method covers two procedures for establishing the presence of suspended free water, solid particulate, and other contaminants in aviation gasoline and aviation turbine fuels.1.1.1 Both procedures are intended primarily for use as field tests with the fuel at handling temperature.1.1.2 Procedure A uses transparent sample containers; Procedure B uses opaque containers.1.2 Both procedures are rapid methods for contamination detection and include ratings of haze appearance and particulate presence.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

5.1 The test method for particulate sizing and numbers on garments is nondestructive and may be used to evaluate the contamination levels of fibers and particles on and in clean room garments. The test may be used for evaluating the cleanliness levels of new or newly cleaned garments. It also may be used to evaluate the extent of fiber and particulate contamination on garments that have been worn, if necessary. For this application, it is necessary to sample representative areas of the garment fabric.1.1 This test method covers the determination of detachable particulate contaminant 5 μm or larger, in and on the fabric of clean room garments.1.2 This test method does not apply to nonporous fabrics such as Tyvek (trademarked) or Gortex (trademarked). It only applies to fabrics that are porous such as cotton or polyester.1.3 This test method provides not only the traditional optical microscopic analysis but also a size distribution and surface obscuration analysis for particles on a fine-textured membrane filter or in a tape lift sample. It utilizes transmitted illumination to render all particles darker than the background for gray level detection. Particles collected on opaque plates must be transferred to a suitable membrane filter.1.4 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.1.5 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment.

This test method covers the apparatuses required, sampling methods, standard procedures and calculations, and test reports for counting and sizing airborne microparticulate matter, the sampling areas for which are specifically those with contamination levels typical of cleanrooms and dust-controlled areas. The test method is based on the microscopical examination of particles impinged upon a membrane filter with the aid of a vacuum. Sampling may be done in a cleanroom, clean zone, or other controlle areas, or in a duct or pipe, wherein the number of sampling points is proportional to the floor area of the enclosure to be checked. The apparatus and facilities required are typical of a laboratory for the study of macroparticle contamination. The operator must have adequate basic training in microscopy and the techniques of particle sizing and counting.1.1 This test method covers counting and sizing airborne particulate matter 5 µm and larger (macroparticles). The sampling areas are specifically those with contamination levels typical of cleanrooms and dust-controlled areas.1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.

5.1 Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) as defined by this test method are compounds made up of two or more fused aromatic rings.5.2 Several PAH are considered to be probable human carcinogens.5.3 PAH are emitted in the atmosphere primarily through wood or fossil fuel combustion.5.4 Two- and three-ring PAH are typically present in urban air at concentrations ranging from 10 to several hundred nanograms per cubic metre (ng/m3); those with four or more rings are usually found at concentrations of a few ng/m3 or lower.5.5 PAH span a broad spectrum of vapor pressures (for example, from 1.1 × 10–2 kPa for naphthalene to 2 × 10–13 kPa for coronene at 25 °C). Table 1 lists some PAH that are frequently found in ambient air. Those with vapor pressures above about 10–8 kPa will be present in the ambient air substantially distributed between the gas and particulate phases. This test method will permit the collection of both phases. However, particulate-phase PAH will tend to be lost from the particulate filter during sampling due to desorption and volatilization.(A) Many of these compounds sublime.5.5.1 The distribution between phases depends on ambient temperature, humidity, types and concentrations of PAH and particulate matter, and residence time in the air. PAH, especially those having vapor pressures above 10–8 kPa, may vaporize from particulate filters during sampling. Consequently, a back-up vapor trap must be used for efficient sampling.5.6 Separate analyses of the filter and vapor trap will not reflect the original atmospheric phase distributions and should be discouraged.1.1 This test method2 specifies sampling, cleanup, and analysis procedures for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ambient air.1.2 This test method is designed to collect both gas-phase and particulate-phase PAH and to determine them collectively.1.3 This test method is a high-volume sampling (100 to 250 L/min) method capable of detecting PAH at sub-nanograms per cubic metre (ng/m3) concentrations with sampling volumes up to 350 m3 of air.1.4 This test method has been validated for sampling periods up to 24 h.1.5 Precision and bias under normal conditions can be expected to be ±35 to 50 %.1.6 This test method describes a sampling and analysis procedure for PAH that involves collection from air on a combination fine-particle filter and sorbent trap and subsequent analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).1.7 The range of this test method is approximately 0.05 to 1000 ng/m3 of air sampled.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See also Section 8 for additional safety precautions.1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

5.1 This standard guide is to be used to help assess the biocompatibility of materials used in medical devices (for example, externally communicating, implants, and other body contact medical devices). It is designed to test the effect of particles and other wear debris and/or degradation products on the generation of FBR and other (local and systemic) host responses of immune/inflammatory origin.5.2 The appropriateness of the selected testing methods should be carefully considered by the user since not all materials or applications need to be tested by this guide. Existing biocompatibility screening methods may not be fully predictive of the human response, and testing approaches such as those described here are needed for continuous improvement of the predictability of biocompatibility testing. The effectiveness of animal testing in terms of its predictability of human outcomes is dependent on the study design. If possible, study endpoints should be chosen to minimize interspecies variability and to investigate clinically relevant biological responses. While testing approaches should remain at the user’s discretion, the following should be taken into consideration when selecting most appropriate tests and study endpoints.5.2.1 Device-induced responses usually involve both innate and adaptive immunities, which raises possible need for specific testing for each of these immune response types.5.2.1.1 Device-related adaptive immune responses are mostly due to lymphocyte-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity. In vivo allergenicity to a test material (which can be introduced via different routes) should be assessed by monitoring for any signs of allergic and acute toxicity reactions, for example, scratch, tremor, and dyspnea. In addition, ex vivo analysis on immunophenotyping of the isolated splenocytes/lymphocytes from the same studies should be considered.5.2.1.2 Device-related innate immune responses are mostly mediated by macrophages and can be assessed by histopathological assessment of the extent of FBR including macrophage accumulation around the test material. Supplementary ex vivo / in vitro assessment can be used for additional macrophage-based testing such as macrophage immunophenotyping (proinflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory/wound healing M2) as well as debris uptake by phagocytes (phagocytozability) involving the entire range of test material characteristics.5.2.2 Due to the role of inflammation in extending device-related FBR and promoting the resultant tissue remodeling, histopathological assessment should include identification of immune/inflammatory cell infiltration (with separate counts for the individual cell types representing both innate and adaptive responses) as well as corresponding tissue changes (for example, fibrosis, necrosis, ossification or osteolysis, angiogenesis). Identification of immune/inflammatory cells may involve different approaches including IHC phenotyping as needed. Supplementary ex vivo / in vitro assessment should be considered for assessing the balance in release of pro-inflammatory versus anti-inflammatory cytokines as well as generation of hyper-proliferative versus hypo-proliferative tissue responses.5.2.2.1 Since the signs of inflammation and post-inflammatory tissue changes may not be always apparent, special attention should be given to the assessment of debris-related inflammogenic and tissue remodeling potentials using ex vivo specimens and supplementary in vitro assessment when needed. Pro-inflammatory cell death (necrosis) should be distinguished from programmed cell death (apoptosis usually associated with anti-inflammatory responses) by using cell viability and cytotoxicity testing involving cellular staining and flow cytometry. Given the importance of phagocytes in proper clearance of dying cells, normal non-phlogistic phagocytosis of cells undergoing apoptosis should be distinguished from “frustrated” phlogistic phagocytosis which may result in further cell/tissue damage due to the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMP). See X1.10 for more details.5.2.3 Due to the role of the device-tissue interface in shaping biological responses, in vivo models as well as supplementary testing should be aimed to simulate (as much as possible) device-specific use environments. In vivo animal models with intra-articular applications of a test material may be beneficial for testing of orthopedic materials, while intracardiac/intravenous applications may be more beneficial for testing of cardio/endovascular materials.5.2.3.1 Since many implantable materials come in contact with blood during their clinical use, the need for hemocompatibility testing should be considered, especially when developing new materials. Development of new materials for cardiovascular applications may benefit from a more detailed hemocompatibility assessment, which could include microcirculation, cell adhesion, and leukocyte-endothelial interactions.5.2.4 The predictability of testing for a certain material, including its debris, may benefit from the choice of study endpoints and testing approaches that incorporates clinical experience from known therapeutic applications and safety issues of similar materials.5.2.4.1 In general, the study endpoints should be selected per their ability to measure immunomodulatory, pro/anti-inflammogenic, and tissue remodeling effects. As the examples of more specific choices, testing for an orthopedic material should take into consideration potential tissue changes such as periprosthetic osteolysis and pseudotumors, while testing for a cardiovascular material should take into consideration potential hemolytic, thrombolytic/thrombogenic, and pro-angiogenic effects.5.2.4.2 Some endpoints currently used in effectiveness assessments can be applied to the safety assessment of adverse tissue remodeling (examples of osteogenesis-related study endpoints can be found in X1.12).5.2.4.3 While not all possible clinical complications can be accurately replicated in animal testing models, the properly selected study endpoints for in vivo and supplementary in vitro testing can enhance the overall predictability of biocompatibility testing (more details on the choice of measurable study endpoints are provided in X1.5).5.2.5 Rodents and other small animals (for example, rabbit, guinea pig) are traditionally used for in vivo biocompatibility testing models. Use of larger animal models is usually limited due to ethical and other concerns and may be reserved for models in higher need for imitating similarities with humans (weight, bone and joint structure, etc.).5.3 Abbreviations Used: 5.3.1 ALVAL—Aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis-associated lesion.5.3.2 CD—Cluster differentiation.5.3.3 DAMP—Damage-associated molecular pattern.5.3.4 EDS/EDAX—Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.5.3.5 ELISA—Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.5.3.6 FBGC—Foreign body giant cell.5.3.7 FBR—Foreign body response.5.3.8 FTIR—Fourier-transform infrared (spectroscopy).5.3.9 H&E—Hematoxylin and eosin.5.3.10 HMGB1—High-mobility group box 1.5.3.11 HSP—Heat shock protein.5.3.12 ICAM1—Intercellular adhesion molecule-1.5.3.13 ICP-MS—Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry.5.3.14 Ig—Immunoglobulin.5.3.15 IL—Interleukin.5.3.16 LAL—Limulus amebocyte lysate.5.3.17 LPS—Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin).5.3.18 MMP—Matrix metalloproteinase.5.3.19 NO—Nitric oxide.5.3.20 NOS/iNOS—Nitric oxide synthase / Inducible nitic oxide synthase.5.3.21 PCR—Polymerase chain reaction.5.3.22 ROS—Reactive oxygen species.5.3.23 SAA—Serum amyloid A.5.3.24 SEM—Scanning electron microscopy.5.3.25 α-SMA—Alpha-smooth muscle actin.5.3.26 TBARS—Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances.5.3.27 TGF-β—Transforming growth factor-beta.5.3.28 TLR—Toll-like receptor.5.3.29 TNF-α—Tumor necrosis factor-alpha.5.3.30 TRAP—Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.5.3.31 VEGF—Vascular endothelial growth factor.1.1 The purpose of this standard guide is to describe the principles and approaches to testing of medical device debris and degradation products from device materials (for example, particles from wear) for their potential to activate a cascade of biological responses at local and systemic levels in the body. In order to ascertain the role of device debris and degradation products in stimulating such responses, the nature of the responses and the consequences of the responses should be evaluated. This is an emerging area. The continuously updated information gained from the testing results and related published literature is necessary to improve the study designs, as well as predictive value and interpretation of the test results regarding debris/degradation product related responses. Some of the procedures listed here may, on further testing, not prove to be predictive of clinical responses to device-related debris and degradation products. However, only the continuing use of standard protocols will establish the most useful testing approaches with reliable study endpoints and measurement techniques. Since there are many possible and established ways of determining the debris/degradation product related responses in vivo, a single standard protocol is not stated. However, this recommended guide indicates which testing approaches are most applicable per expected biological responses and which necessary information should be supplied with the test results. To address the general role of chronic inflammation in exaggerating device-related foreign body response (FBR), the recommendations in this standard include the assessment of device-related pro-inflammatory responses and subsequent tissue remodeling potential.1.2 This document is to provide the users with updated scientific knowledge that may help better characterize medical device debris related responses. It is to help the users to optimize their plans for particle characterization and biocompatibility assessment by considering the testing principles and methods available in published literature that are appropriate to their products.1.3 This standard is not sufficient to address device-related degradation products that result in gas formation or that are exclusively represented by nanoparticles, or soluble species such as dissolved metal ions.1.4 While devices should be designed and manufactured in such a way as to reduce as far as possible the risks posed by substances or particles (including wear debris, degradation products, and processing residues) that may be released from the device, this standard guide may help users to identify the presence of wear debris and degradation products and subsequent adverse reactions that may occur.1.5 Although this guide is based on the available device debris-related knowledge that is largely based on orthopedic devices, most of the recommendations are also applicable to other (non-orthopedic) device areas.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
