?NASOPHARYNGEAL AIRWAYS
SunMed Healthcare is pleased to announce our original Blue latex nasopharyngeal tubes have been improved through a unique manufacturing process. All nine sizes are treated to provide an extremely smooth sur- face to accommodate the patient's comfort and easing of insertion and removal.
To reduce undesirable proteins, a proprietary three-step procedure is employed prior to sterilizing this product, remov- ing antigenic protein inherent to all natural latex.
TEST I: ASTM D 5712 TOTAL PROTEIN (LOWRY)
A total protein Lowry Assay test has been obtained on our nasopharyngeal tubes indicating less than 50ug/g total protein.
TEST II: ASTM D 64499-00 ANTIGENIC PROTEIN
The newer, more specific Elisa test to determine the anti- genic protein level has determined our nasopharyngeal tubes have less than 0.6ug/g antigenic protein. The above analyses were carried out by Guthrie Research Institute and certified to SunMed Healthcare by Akron ?Rubber Laboratory Inc., both the Lowry Assay and the Elisa test results are available upon request.
