ASTM  F3320-18
Standard Guide forCoating Characterization of Drug Coated Balloons
Scope/Abstract
1.1 This guide describes recommended acute in-vitro characterization methods for drug coated balloon (DCB) coatings. These methods include: coating integrity, coating thickness, drug coating uniformity, and released particulates. Specifically, this guide details:

1.1.1 Characterization of integrity by inspection of the coated balloon surface.

1.1.2 Measurement of coating thickness.

1.1.3 Quantitation of drug coating uniformity (uniformity of drug distribution over the balloon surface) longitudinally and circumferentially.

1.1.4 Quantitation of the number of particulates released, in various ranges, during simulated use testing (insertion, tracking, deployment, retraction, and withdrawal) along with chemical and crystallinity characterization of particulates.
