1. Introduction The PureFlo PTFE Validation Guide is a reference to provide assistance in validating ZenPure’s Pharmaceutical Grade 0.2 µm PureFlo PTFE cartridge and capsule filters. These filters are manufactured by ZenPure Corporation to meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

2. Product Description All 0.2 µm Pharmaceutical Grade PureFlo PTFE cartridge and capsule filters are manufactured with PTFE membrane capable of complete retention of B. Diminuta and designed to provide sterile fluids in biopharmaceutical applications. The PTFE membrane provides superior flow per surface area (flux) compared with many other available membrane types. The PureFlo PTFE cartridge and capsule filters are optimized to provide complete bacterial retention in liquids and gases while maintaining high flow rates (low pressure drops) in biopharmaceutical venting applications. The filters’ robust construction provides superior resistance to multiple sterilization cycles for applications that require long periods of continuous aseptic and contamination-free operation. All ZenPure PureFlo PTFE cartridge and capsule filters are manufactured in the same production facility, on the same production lines, using the same raw materials of construction. Each filter is labeled with the filter type, catalogue number, lot number, pore size, and ZenPure logo.

6. Testing Summary 6.1 Integrity Testing by Diffusional Flow Rate, Bubble Point, and Water Intrusion The Diffusional Flow Integrity Test and the Bubble Point Test are non-destructive tests that allow for the integrity and bubble point of the filter to be determined. The result of Integrity and Bubble Point tests are used in conjunction with bacterial retention tests (Sections 6.2 and 7.2) to determine the maximum allowable diffusional flow and minimum allowable bubble point required to achieve sterilizing-grade performance. Every PureFlo PTFE filter is integrity tested during the manufacturing process to ensure proper product performance. 6.2 Bacterial Retention Testing by B. diminuta Testing was performed to determine and verify the bacterial retention capabilities of the PureFlo PTFE filters. Each filter was integrity and bubble point tested prior to bacterial challenge, such that correlation could be made between the integrity and bubble point specifications and a filter’s sterilizing-grade performance.

6.3 Bacterial Endotoxins – LAL Test

During the LAL test, an extract from the filter is mixed with Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL). A reaction at different dilutions indicates the maximum level of endotoxin present. The test results determine the worst-case endotoxin level eluted from a ZenPure PureFlo PTFE Capsule.

The endotoxin limits for water defined by USP are as follows:

1) Water for Hemodialysis: 2 EU/ml 2) Sterile Water for Irrigation: 0.25 EU/ml 3) Sterile Water for Injection: 0.25 EU/ml 4) Sterile Water for Inhalation: 0.5 EU/ml ZenPure’s Pharma Grade PureFlo PE Capsules are held to a specification of <0.25 EU/ml

and a sample of each lot is tested as part of ZenPure’s Lot Release Criteria to ensure each lot conforms to this specification.

6.4 ASTM Hemolysis

This test determines the hemolytic properties of a test sample when brought into contact with rabbit blood. The procedure involves exposing the test material to a blood cell suspension and determining the amount of hemoglobin released as a result. The amount of hemoglobin released is measured by spectrophotometry at 540 nm, and the absorption is compared with the negative and positive controls to calculate the hemolytic index. Samples with a Hemolytic index between 0 and 2 are considered Non-Hemolytic.

Figure 1 Hemolytic Index

6.5 USP Biological Reactivity Tests for Class VI Plastics Samples of the plastic components or raw materials used in the construction of ZenPure’s PureFlo PTFE Series cartridges and capsules were tested against the requirements of the USP Biological Reactivity Test for Class VI Plastics. 6.6 ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity Test (MEM Elution) Testing was performed, per ISO 10993-5, to ensure that ZenPure PureFlo PTFE cartridges and capsules are non-cytotoxic. This test evaluates the acute adverse biological effects of extractables from the filter. A negative result indicates that a material is free of harmful extractables or has an insufficient amount of extractables to cause acute effects under exaggerated conditions using isolated cells.

7. Test Methods and Results

7.1 Integrity Testing by Diffusional Flow Rate, Bubble Point, and Water Intrusion The Diffusional Flow Integrity Test, the Bubble Point Test, and the Water Intrusion Test are non-destructive tests that allow for the integrity and bubble point of the filter to be determined. The bubble point and the diffusional flow at 1.0 bar were measured using 60% Isopropanol/40% Water as the wetting fluid. The Water Intrusion test was performed using water as the non-wetting fluid. Values are shown in Figure 2.

7.4 ASTM Hemolysis

This test determines the hemolytic properties of a test sample when brought into contact with blood. The PureFlo PTFE 50 mm disc filter gave a Corrected Hemolytic Index of 0.56% which is considered Non-Hemolytic.

Conclusion: The difference between the hemolytic index of the test sample and the negative control is 0.56 percent. This places the test samples in the non-hemolytic range according to the grade outlined in the following table.

7.5 USP Biological Reactivity Tests for Class VI Plastics Samples of the plastic components or raw materials used in the construction of ZenPure’s PureFlo PTFE cartridges and capsules meet the requirements of the USP Biological Reactivity Test for Class VI Plastics.

7.6 ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity Test (MEM Elution)

Testing was performed using a PureFlo PTFE 50 mm disc filter capsule, per ISO 10993-5, to ensure that ZenPure PureFlo PTFE filters are non-cytotoxic. The PureFlo PTFE filter was found to be non-cytotoxic showing no reactivity during the test.

7.7 Gravimetric Extraction in Isopropanol

The amount of non-volatile extractables from a PureFlo PTFE 50 mm disc filter capsule was determined by way of a 24-hour dynamic recirculation at 22 °C of 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and subsequent gravimetric quantification. The conditions of the 24-hour dynamic extraction were chosen as a worst-case scenario for filter extractable levels. The result of the gravimetric extractables test is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 Gravimetric Extractables Test Results 7.8 Cartridge Integrity with Multiple Steam-In-Place Cycles Testing was performed to verify the resistance of PureFlo PTFE cartridge filters with 0.2 µm PTFE membrane to multiple in-line steam sterilization cycles. Standard (all Polypropylene) constructed mini and full-size filter cartridges were subjected to 20 minute steam cycles at 135 °C. Figure 8 shows the filters maintained their integrity for over 50 total cycles. High-temperature constructed filter cartridges were subjected to an extended number of test cycles at even high temperatures as seen in Figures 9 and 10.
