ASTM F468

ASTM F468 is a set of safety standards established by the American Society for Testing and Materials. It specifies the material, design, and performance requirements for reusable medical devices, such as tubing and connectors, used in non-osteptic (not involving bone) medical procedures. The goal is to ensure these components are safe, durable, and reliable for medical use, minimizing risks like leaks or contamination. In essence, ASTM F468 provides guidelines to manufacturers to produce high-quality, consistent medical tubing and fitting products that meet safety and performance benchmarks.
