Platinum-cured silicone transfer tubing

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides a validation guide for BioPure platinum-cured silicone transfer tubing, produced in Seaford, Delaware, USA. The tubing is manufactured in ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanrooms under GMP principles and an ISO 9001 quality management system. It complies with USP Class VI and EP 3.1.9, is free from animal-derived components, and is stable under autoclave and gamma sterilization.

Conditions of Use
The tubing can be sterilized by autoclave at 123°C for 30 minutes and by gamma irradiation up to 50 kGy. It operates within a temperature range of –65°C to 254°C.

Chemical Compatibility
No specific data on chemical compatibility with various solvents is available, so testing under actual process conditions is recommended.

Materials, Manufacturing, and Regulatory Compliance
The tubing complies with REACH and RoHS regulations, containing no hazardous substances. It should be stored in a cool, dry environment, away from sunlight and chemicals, with stock rotated on a FIFO basis.

Compendial and Non-Compendial Testing
The tubing has passed tests including USP <87> and <88> for biological reactivity, ISO 10993 series for cytotoxicity, irritation, and systemic toxicity, and European Pharmacopeia 3.1.9 for physiochemical properties. It also meets USP <381> and <85> standards.

Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
TOC testing measures organic contaminants in purified water, performed according to USP <643>.

Extractables Testing
Testing involved extraction in multiple solvents at controlled temperatures, analyzed using techniques like ICP/MS to identify materials migrating from the tubing.

Analysis Techniques
Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) was used for analyzing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC) in extract samples. Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) was employed for Non-Volatile Organic Compounds (NVOC) and organic acids, with a UV detector used to identify non-target NVOC peaks.

Results
The studies indicated low levels of extractables from tubing extracts in various solutions, including purified water, 50% ethyl alcohol in water, 0.5 N Sodium Hydroxide, and 0.1 M Phosphoric acid. Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) offers further assistance for risk assessment based on extractables data.

Conclusions
BioPure silicone transfer tubing has passed several compendial and ISO tests. For detailed compliance statements and test reports, contact a WMFTS representative.

7. Extractables testing Sections of BioPure silicone transfer tubing were subjected to extraction in multiple solvents at controlled temperatures. Extractions were performed using four (4) solvents: (1) purified water; (2) 50% (v/v) ethyl alcohol in water (50% EtOH); (3) 0.5 N Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH); and (4) 0.1 M Phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Extractions were performed under aggressive conditions of 40 ± 2 º C for 24± 2 hours and 21 ± 1 days. The resulting extracts were analyzed by a variety of analytical techniques, to identify and quantify materials that may have migrated from the product contact...
