Frequently asked questions
Does the tubing grip connectors securely to prevent leaks?
The Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing grips connectors tenaciously. This secure grip ensures a reliable connection and prevents leakage.
Does this drainage tubing meet high compliance standards?
Yes, this Penrose Drainage Tubing adheres to rigorous quality control and regulatory standards for medical use, ensuring reliable performance and material safety.
Key compliance specifications include:
- Regulatory Compliance (FDA): All component materials meet the requirements of FDA Title 21 CFR Section 177.2600 and 182.5991.
- Biological Safety (USP Class VI): The tubing has successfully passed critical U.S.P. Biological Reactivity Tests, in VIVO, Class VI (including Acute Systemic Toxicity, Intracutaneous Toxicity, and Implantation Test). It also passed U.S.P. Heavy Metals and Trace Metals testing.
- Federal Specifications: It meets the standards set by A-A-52047 (types 1, 3, 4, & 5) and A-A-53848.
Furthermore, the material is extensively leached, washed, and surface-treated to achieve a high purity level of 99.9% protein-free.
Does this tubing have high protein purity?
Yes, this Penrose Drainage Tubing is engineered for high purity and performance. The material is extensively leached, washed, and surface-treated to achieve a 99.9% protein-free status.
Important Material Note:
- The tubing is constructed from Natural Rubber (Latex) and Polyisoprene Rubber.
- Users should exercise caution as the product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.
Does the tubing have a seamless construction to ensure clear passage of fluids?
Yes, the lumen of the Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing is seamless and free of striations. This ensures a clear and unobstructed passage for liquids and gases, crucial for effective drainage.
Does this tubing maintain its elasticity after being stretched repeatedly?
Yes, the Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing maintains its memory after repeated stretching. This elasticity ensures it retains its shape and functionality over time.
Is the tubing translucent, allowing for observation of liquid flow?
The Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing allows unobstructed observation of liquid flow. This translucency helps in monitoring the drainage process.
What effective methods sterilize this tubing?
This drainage tubing is highly versatile and compatible with multiple sterilization techniques, ensuring it maintains its durability and seamless construction through repeated cycles:
- Autoclave (Steam under pressure): The recommended cycle based on manufacturer experience is 250°F for 20 minutes.
- Ethylene Oxide (EtO): Effective sterilization requires that all parts be accessible to the gas. Oxyfume gas (12% EtO + 88% Freon) is recommended.
- Gamma Radiation (Cobalt 60): Doses between 1.5 to 2.5 megarads typically have little to no effect on the material. Please note: Do not radiate the tubing while it is in an elongated state.
Where is this drainage tubing manufactured?
This Penrose drainage tubing is manufactured in the USA. This ensures high quality and adherence to strict manufacturing standards.
Is the Penrose drainage tubing made from quality material?
Yes, the Graham-Field Penrose tubing is made from high-quality Natural Rubber (Latex) and Polyisoprene Rubber, engineered for durability and reliable medical drainage.
Key quality features include:
- High Purity: The material is extensively leached, washed, and surface-treated to achieve a superior 99.9% protein-free status.
- Optimal Flow: Features a seamless design, free of internal striations, ensuring an unobstructed flow path for liquids or gases.
- Excellent Performance: Offers superior elasticity that maintains memory even after repeated stretching, and high gripping power for secure connection to devices.
- Visual Monitoring: The translucency allows medical personnel to easily observe the flow line of fluids.
⚠️ Important Safety Note: This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
What size is the Penrose drainage tubing?
The Graham-Field Penrose Drainage Tubing is available in a 1-inch size.
