Rubber Compression Bag | 1. Cytotoxicity 2. Physiochemical (Elastomeric Closures) 3. ASTM Protein Analysis | | B. Vinyl Reservoir Bag | 1. Cytotoxicity 2. Physiochemical (Elastomeric Closures) | | C. Silicone Rubber Lip Valve | 1. Cytotoxicity 2. Physiochemical (Elastomeric Closures) 3. ASTM Protein Analysis | The scoring (reactivity) for cytotoxicity of item A was noted as "slight" cytotoxic and items B and C noted as "none" cytotoxic. In addition, physiochemical tests were performed for items A, B, and C to determine pertinent physiochemical extraction characteristics. ASTM Protein analysis was performed on items A and C and the results were <50 ug of protein per gram of material.
