FR Recognition Number 18-24
Standard
ASTM  E2524-22
Standard Test Method for Analysis of Hemolytic Properties of Nanoparticles
Scope/Abstract
1.1 This test method covers assessing the effect of nanoparticulate materials on the integrity of red blood cells.
1.2 This test method uses diluted whole blood incubated with nanoparticulate material and the hemoglobin released from damaged red blood cells is determined.
1.3 This test method is similar to Practice F756 with the volumes reduced to accommodate nanoparticulate material.
1.4 This test method is part of the in-vitro preclinical characterization and is important for nanoparticulate material that will contact the blood in medical applications.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
- Section 8.6 Preparation of Nanoparticulate Test Samples
- Section 13.2 Interferences
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.

This standard is recognized in part because:

- Section 8.6 is in conflict with an existing FDA published guidance, see paragraph 2, bullet #3 on Page 27 of Section V. D. Submicron or Nanotechnology Components of the guidance #1 listed below.

- Section 13.2 is in conflict with an existing FDA published guidance, see paragraph 3 bullet #2 on Page 28 of Section V. D. Submicron or Nanotechnology Components of the guidance #1 listed below.
