1. Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of temperature and humidity to the heparin
coating under the cyclic testing. The cyclic testing condition s followed the format
established by IEC, and the temperature rate of change followed the EN45502.
These worst case conditions will provide the minimal amount of heparin activity while still
within this range.

3. Deviations to Protocol:
The evaluation method to determine heparin activity, thrombin inhibition assay, was changed
from the previous method of #78-8067-8152-8 to #812079 rev A. Therefore the acceptance
criteria have changed from greater than 0.008 units/cm2 of heparin activity to the following
specification.
Titanium and Stainless Steel > 0.010 U/mL
THI procedures 811891A Sterilization Release Criteria and 812079A Thrombin Inhibition
Assay are in a pre- released state. Protocol indicates they have already been released. This
will not effect the testing performed in this protocol.

6. Conclusions:
Based on the results detailed in section 5 it can be seen from figures1 and figure 2 that
temperature and humidity changes have effect on heparin activity degradation.
It can also be seen for each substrate, that heparin activity exhibits a normal distribution (α=.05)
except for Stainless Steel Non- Cyclic tested. One Stainless Steel sample of Non- Cyclic tested
is lower than the others (nine data), however the heparin activity was still 130% higher than the
acceptance criteria.
Review of the results detailed in section 5 indicate that for both Non - Cyclic tested and Cyclic
tested samples the acceptance criteria of 0.01 U/mL for heparin activity is exceeded in all cases
for both substrates.
Therefore it can be concluded that under the cyclic test, the existing heparin coating process is
able to deliver heparin activity levels that can be sustained for Pump Product Requirement
Specification already defined. ( Temperature 0-50 degree C, Humidity 10-95%RH)
