Study Notes
Quality Control Procedures for EPstar Fix (Lumen) Catheter
- Product Name: EPstar Fix (Lumen)
- Product Category: Intermediate/Sterilization-Prior-Final-Function-Test
- Department: Quality Control (Inspection Team)/Outsourcing/Koyama Factory
- Document Number: EP-QC13-006
- Revision Date: March 22, 2021
Intermediate Inspection Procedures
- Inspection Area: Catheter Tip, Catheter Shaft, Handle, Electrical, Tip Shape
- Catheter Tip: Inspect for deformation, dirt, or foreign material. Microscope. 100% inspection. Check for dents, scratches, foreign objects, open gaps, slanted attachments, and resin buildup (0.3mm or less).
- Catheter Shaft: Examine for smoothness, dents (0.2mm² max), cracks, and peeling. Magnifier lamp/microscope, up to 100% inspection. Check for surface smoothness, cracks, foreign substances, and flaws at the fusing area.
- Handle Inspection: Assess for damage, imperfections, dirt and foreign material. Visual check (aided with magnifier/microscope if needed). Check for correct tube/mesruler alignment, correct gap measurement (within ±15° of downward arrow from female luer), and the absence of gaps in the handle.100% inspection.
Electrical Test
- Insulation Test: Minimum 30MΩ. Use a DIGITAL HITESTER or equivalent multimeter.
- Resistance Test: Stable at ≤200 (±0.10). Use a DIGITAL HITESTER or equivalent multimeter.
Tip Shape Inspection
- Shape Conformity: Must conform to specified templates. Determine conformity visually to the template. 100% inspection.
Additional Considerations for Specific Products
- Shell inspection (Models F10286CSL-65HTUP, F10556CSL-65HTUP, F11556CSL-95HTUP): Remove shells and check for damage, cracks, deformation, debris and dirt.
- Curve Pattern: Follow the specified curve templates for quality assurance. 100% inspection.
