Webinar available on demand— Chemical resistance in fluid management systems



In case you missed this informative webinar on 11 May 2016, it is now available for you to watch whenever you choose. The webinar addresses in detail:
•  The need for chemical resistance in connectors, stopcocks, and filtration components
•  How engineering polymers compare for compatibility with drugs, lipids, and carrier solvents
•  How to use Eastman Tritan™ copolyesters in your fluid management components to improve patient safety

Some traditional polymers are incompatible with oncology drugs, carrier solvents aggressive, and frequent disinfection used to prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Some lack the rigidity to meet new ISO 80369 requirements.

 In this one-hour webinar, Tritan experts explain the increasing pressure on today’s medical devices—especially fluid management components and blood contact devices—to meet high performance standards for:
•  Patient safety
•  Performance expectations (aesthetics/functionality)
•  Portability and constant handling
•  Aggressive disinfectants, harsh pharmaceuticals, and carrier solvents
•  Sterilization (EtO, gamma irradiation)
•  Changes in ISO 80369/AAMI CN3(PS):2014 standards for small bore connectors across all fluid management platforms
•  Lifetime value
 
They also will discuss tests used to verify compatibility with disinfectants, harsh oncology drugs and their carrier solvents, and solvents used in fabrication and assembly.
