Biological Safety — Oxidizable Substances & Pyrogenicity

Betane™ PP and PG series lter cartridges were subjected to the USP 22 Class VI Safety
Test in addition to Thirteen safety tests. Betane PP and PG series lter cartridges passed
all safety tests listed below:

Cytotoxicity

• Direct Exposure

• Agar Overlay

• Neutral Red Uptake

• Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell

Hemocompatibility

• Human Red Blood Cell Hemolysis

• Recalcied Whole Blood Clotting Time

Safety & Histocompatibility

• USP 22 Class VI Safety Test

• Single Dose Oral Toxicity

• Single Dose Eye Irritation

• Primary Skin Irritation

• Kligman Guinea Pig Maximization

Mutagenicity

• Salmonella Preincubation (AMES)

• Human Lymphocompatibility

The Biological Safety Report for Betane PP and PG series lter cartridges is available
upon request.

Gravimetric Extractables

Betane PP and PG series lter cartridges were tested for total gravimetric extractables
by a four hour agitated soak test. The test results indicate that Betane PP and PG series
lter cartridges have extractable levels of < 2 mg/ft2 of lter area in 21 °C water.

Materials of Construction

Betane PP and PG series lter cartridges are produced from a pleated lter composite
containing multiple layers of non-woven polypropylene, supported by upstream and
downstream support material. Multiple cartridge lengths of various end modications are
produced by thermal bonding which eliminates the need for adapters. No adhesives are
used in the cartridge assembly process. All materials used comply with FDA CFR, Title
21 parts 170-199 for contact with food.

Chemical Compatibility

The compatibility data provided in Table 1 on page 3 is intended as a guide. It is recommended
that compatibility with any process be established under actual ltration conditions, since
operating parameters may inuence compatibility. Consideration must also be given in
the selection of suitable gasket materials to conrm complete compatibility.
