(Specification)Standard Specification for the Requirements and Disclosure of Self-Closing Aneurysm Clips (Withdrawn 2009)
Standard Specification for the Requirements and Disclosure of Self-Closing Aneurysm Clips (Withdrawn 2009)
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the requirements for specific characteristics and appropriate test requirements for, and disclosure of self-closing aneurysm clips that are intended for permanent implantation. Miniatures of "microclips" that are not intended for the obliteration of aneurysms are excluded from this specification.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for the specific characteristics of self-closing aneurysm clips that are intended for permanent implantation. Appropriate test requirements are also included.
1.2 Since all of the properties that contribute to aneurysm clip performance may not be known, this specification is intended to reflect the state of our knowledge to date.
1.3 Miniatures of "microclips" that are not intended for the obliteration of aneurysms are excluded from this specification.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification covers requirements for the specific characteristics of self-closing aneurysm clips that are intended for permanent implantation. Appropriate test requirements are also included.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F04 on Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices, this specification was withdrawn in March 2009 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
