YY/T 1898-2024 Intravascular catheter and guidewire - Testing method for fastness of the hydrophilic coating
1 Scope
This document describes the testing methods for coating fastness of medical intravascular catheters and guidewires with hydrophilic lubricant coatings, including four methods: visual inspection, friction test, particulate test, and chemical property test.
The hydrophilic lubricant coatings referred to in this document refer specifically to those prepared from polymers that are chemically bonded to the surface of the substrate, excluding other types of coatings such as drug-eluting coatings, and degradable coatings.
This document is applicable to intravascular catheters and guidewires with hydrophilic lubricant coatings.
